Forthcoming event
Fragments, Music & Poetry

Join Edmund de Waal as he explores the theme of Create and Transform through fragments and brokenness. Bookended by musical performance, de Waal will reflect on the creative power of pot shards, poetry, and the beauty of incompleteness in his work.
He will examine how broken fragments spark transformation, shaping museum spaces and personal meaning. The event concludes with performances that respond to the theme, filling the Ashmolean with soundscapes of creation, transformation, and cultural resonance.
