What's on in Finsbury

Greater London, England

Finsbury sits right in Greater London and has plenty of room to breathe without needing a map to find fun. We usually have a market stall nearby for those who like bargaining over fresh produce or handmade crafts. It is easy to wander down High Street and stumble upon a pop-up theatre that just happens to be showing something clever today. The local cinema often screens a classic film while the park hosts a dog walk that keeps everyone on their best behaviour. A community hall might be running a dance class for seniors, which looks as much like joy as it does effort. Near Here gathers these scattered bits of local life so you do not have to hunt around for your Saturday evening plans.

Lama Chopa and Tsog Offering (Guru Puja)

Lama Chopa (also known as Guru Puja) is a practice of guru devotion special to the Gelugpa tradition. During this practice, the lamas of the graduated path lineage beginning with Shakyamuni Buddha himself, are invoked, extending to present direct teachers who have shown the path. Practitioners pay homage, make offerings, and request each of them to please bless their minds with the same realizations that they themselves have generated. By offering sincere, heartfelt requests, students make their minds ripe to receive the full blessings of this precious lineage and quickly actualize the realizations they need to attain enlightenment. If you wish to experience realizations quickly, the practice of Lama Chopa is indispensable. The benefits of the practice according to Lama Zopa Rinpoche: Practicing this Guru Puja, which is an integration of the three deities, makes it much easier to achieve enlightenment in a brief life of this degenerated time. Doing this practice every day, with purification and many infinite skies of merit, brings the mind closer to the path to enlightenment and closer to enlightenment itself, and so much closer to freeing all sentient beings from obscurations and suffering and leading them to enlightenment.

A solitary sun for a medieval time

Liverpool Biennial 2025: BEDROCK. This limited edition lithograph print depicts a vibrantly colourful drawing that inspired the artist’s hand tufted rug ‘“The sky is not bounded by a fixed edge!”: an illuminated rug arranged to accommodate a medieval mind.’ (2014). This work was first shown as part of the artist’s ‘The Weakened Eye of Day’ exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin. ‘A solitary sun for a medieval time’ (2025) is inspired by Nolan’s interest in ecclesiastical architecture and aesthetics, and drawing the present, real and imagined together. The edition relates to Nolan’s Liverpool Biennial 2025: ‘BEDROCK’ exhibition, which features similar arches inspired by historical and current cathedrals in Liverpool: Sir Edwin Lutyen’s unfinished Roman Catholic Cathedral, of which only a crypt exists due to post-war lack of funds, St Nicolas Pro-Cathedral, which was built in 1813, and the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King , which replaced St Nicolas’ in 1967 and still stands there today. Whether fixating on the knees of a C17th sculpture, or considering the status of a Neolithic artefact, images of deep space or the contingent grandeur of Gothic architecture, Nolan’s work responds to how we make reality happen through science, philosophy, religion, and art.
