Tour of the Barings Bank Art Collection & Archive! (Full Members only)

Wed, Oct 7, 4:45 PM

From The London Cultureseekers Group

4.6

Come along on Wednesday 7th October for a tour of the Barings Bank art collection and archive! **About the collection & Barings Bank** Barings Bank was a British merchant bank based in London, and the world's second oldest merchant bank. It was founded in 1762 and was owned by the German-originated Baring family of merchants and bankers. The bank collapsed in 1995 after suffering losses of £827 million resulting from poor speculative investments, primarily in futures contracts, conducted by its employee Nick Leeson, working at its office in Singapore. The story was turned into a film called *'Rogue Trader'*, which came out in 1999. The Dutch bank ING, purchased Barings Bank in 1995 for the nominal sum of £1. The purchase included Barings extensive art collection and historical documents going back to its formation in 1762. We will have a 2 hour curator guided tour of the art that ING purchased from Barings. It is situated in the companies hallways and meeting rooms. **Please note: there is a limit on how many people we can take on the tour, so I will randomly draw 20 names out from the list of RSVP's 10 days before the visit.

The Nue Black Aesthetic

Sat, Nov 21, 2:00 PM

From Black Art Enthusiasts Collective

4.8

**Join us for an exciting Art Exhibition hosted by the Black Art Enthusiasts Collective.** **This is not a free event details on how to purchase tickets below.** **The NU Black Aesthetic:** Explore a major exhibition celebrating contemporary Black designers who are reshaping the design landscape, from fashion and furniture to architecture, product design and sculpture. What does it mean to be a Black designer working today? Guest curated by author and journalist Charlene Prempeh, this major exhibition will showcase the work of some of the most innovative contemporary Black designers working today. With over 100 objects on display displayed across six sections, the show will demonstrate that Black design is not a monolith, and that there is no single way to be a Black designer. By spotlighting diverse practices and voices, the exhibition invites visitors to rethink assumptions about what Black design looks like and who gets to shape design culture. Many of the designers featured belong to diasporic communities, balancing shared experiences with the distinct traditions of their specific heritage. Their varied approaches to identity, culture and community reflect the myriad nuances of the Black experience. The title of the show references the cultural movements of the ‘Black Aesthetic’ of the 1960s and the ‘New Black Aesthetic’ of the 1980s. But this exhibition proposes a ‘Nue’ era – one defined by nuance, where there is no single way to be a Black designer. After exploring the exhibition we will have a discussion after. [Purchase tickets here](https://bookings.designmuseum.org/?market=DesignMuseum&is-return=false&product=nue-black&date=2026-11-06) **Please arrive promptly at 13.45 pm to go in at 2pm**
