    Arts National – Is this the real life? Challenging Perception of Reality

    Presented by Mary Sharp. 
    When Lucy ventures through the wardrobe into Narnia, when Harry Potter opens his acceptance letter, and when Neo takes the red pill from Morpheus, they all discover that the worlds they thought they knew are only part of the truth. From Plato onwards, writers and artists have been inspired to push beyond the everyday and to create other worlds that inspire our imaginations. This lecture explores what these stories tell us about how we view our lives and what it is that we most desire. Mary is an experienced broadcaster and teacher with particular expertise in literature and drama. She has worked as a producer and commissioning editor for BBC Radio 4, a teacher and director of sixth form at a leading girls’ grammar school and now runs her own company 'Opening Up Literature'.

Arts National – A Photographic Odyssey – Shackleton’s Endurance Expedition

Published on Tuesday, June 30, 2026

Arts National – A Photographic Odyssey – Shackleton’s Endurance Expedition

Event date: 8/17/2026 Export event

Presented by Mark Cottle. On Ernest Shackleton’s third Antarctic expedition in 1914, his ship the Endurance was trapped, eventually crushed in pack ice. Shackleton sailed with five companions over 800 miles to South Georgia, returning over three months later to rescue his stranded crew. Australian Frank Hurley was the expedition’s official photographer.

His images capture with great artistry the amazing landscapes within which this remarkable human drama unfolded. This talk illustrates Hurley’s great talent behind the lens, in the first flush of human contact when the Antarctic remained essentially ‘terra incognita’.

Born on the Isles of Scilly and educated at Truro School, Cornwall, and Birmingham University, Mark Cottle has enjoyed a career in education and training at home and abroad, lecturing at colleges and universities on medieval, Tudor, and Anglo Saxon England.
