Across five screens, imagery of deserts, ice fields, mountains and seas is set to a soundtrack of nature sounds, opera and poetry, asking how migration, colonialism and empire have shaped the planet and its legacies today.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/arcadia-by-sir-john-akomfrah-37307/", "official_url": "https://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/exhibitions/arcadia", "image": "https://noky.io/images/87cfdafa70afbf36f276ba78f0bbea4e9f99d2506264574d3eb39780c75ad3e0-1200.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-06T00:00:00Z", "end": "2027-05-03T00:00:00+01:00", "place": "Natural History Museum", "address": "Cromwell Road, SW7 5BD London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Amar Kanwar", "start": "2026-09-23T00:00:00+01:00", "end": "2027-01-31T00:00:00Z", "place": "Serpentine North Gallery", "address": "", "price": "Free", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "tickets_url": "https://serpentinegalleries.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list", "category": "exhibitions-museums", "tags": ["art/media-art/moving-image"], "description": "A major solo exhibition by the artist and filmmaker Amar Kanwar, transforming Serpentine North Gallery into a meditative visual and sonic environment.
