Join three leading figures in contemporary art for an evening of conversation, reflection, and fresh ways of thinking about colour, form, and making.
Vicken Parsons, David Batchelor, and Jeff McMillan come together in a rare public discussion, chaired by Richard Calvocoressi CBE. While their work takes very different forms, all three share a long and thoughtful engagement with colour and what it can do. How it shapes space, how it carries feeling, and how it connects to the material world.

Stressed about exams, an interview, or an upcoming game? 😐
Dr @HanCritchlow from @Magdalene says that we do need a little bit of stress in order to grow, but it can be dangerous in excess.
Hannah has been researching the 21st century human brain, and has some advice and tips on how we can strike the right balance.

Last week saw the first instalment of this term's Tea @ Three followed by ice cream in the Fellow's Garden!
The College Wellbeing team and JCR have been hard at work curating a programme of activities to support students through exam season.

Magdalene is home and host to many a curious mind, and the Master's Lecture Series is testament to this. Here's a small snippet of the inaugural talk delivered by Tim Leighton in March. It spans far and wide, from cups of coffee to ocean floors, and is the perfect watch to get your brains bubbling. The full recording is available for free on the Magdalene YouTube channel.
Swan watch is back for Easter Term!
Whilst we must ensure to give these wonderful creatures some peace and quiet in the sunshine, do tag @magdalene and #GTF with any of your own swan watch images so we can all stay up to date with the most important timeline of term.
And in other news, good to luck to everyone revising for their exams. Look after yourselves, each other, and the swans.
Garde ta foy!
