The World Reimagined has arrived in Oxford! 18 unique large Globe sculptures are now exhibited in the gardens of Rhodes House. The Globes present a Journey of Discovery, exploring themes ranging from Mother Africa to Still We Rise and Expanding Soul with an enormous range of interpretations, creative styles and storytelling.

Join us at Rhodes House on Saturday 22 July 2023 for the exhibition’s first open day of the summer – and it’s free! With a soundtrack of live steelpan music, it’s going to be a day of learning, reflection, connection and joy for families and the community.
