Joyce Butler: 'The National Woman's MP'
- Until June 2026
This exhibition has been curated in partnership with Dr Lyndsey Jenkins, Associate Professor and Tutorial Fellow in History, Mansfield College, University of Oxford as part of an AHRC funded heritage project 'The National Woman’s MP: Joyce Butler, women's rights and women's liberation from the 1950s to the 1970s’.
It celebrates the contributions Joyce Butler (1910-1992) made towards the improvement of women’s lives as Councillor and MP for Wood Green from 1947 to 1979. She was a pioneering MP in many respects; most notably she instigated what became the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. Butler was also deeply immersed in local politics, universally respected for her expertise in housing and local government, and the first Chairman of the newly formed Haringey Council in 1965. A campaigner for peace, consumer rights, and environmental protection, her political concerns remain vital and urgent today.

Fabrics & Canvas Creations by Christelle Mutombo-Cartier (aka Kabikanvas)
- From 2 October
Christelle Mutombo-Cartier says:
"My art is created by using fabrics especially wax material on canvases to make beautiful and unique pieces of art and using different techniques.
The majority of material is recycled and I’ve been now for couple of years collecting some great piece from a local tailor otherwise it would go in the bin, so I try to do my bit for a better way of living by recycling."
