SUMMARY:GLOBAL CULTURES: A T KABE WILSON – HONOURMASTICS 6 JUNE 2026
LOCATION:Cambridge University: West Court Jesus College
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Jesus College\, Cambridge\, for a presentation and 
 painting unveiling by Jesus College Artist in Residence A T Kabe Wilson\, 
 focused on his recent work about the memorialisation of names. Tickets are
  available below. About the event “What’s in a name?”\, Shakespeare
 ’s Juliet asked. In Honourmastics\, the culmination of his work as 2025/
 26 Artist in Residence at Jesus College\, A T Kabe Wilson hopes to provide
  an answer. In this colourful presentation Kabe will lead us on a journey 
 of naming cultures and explain why his recent work disregards faces\, and 
 centres the proper name as the focus of a new mode of abstract portraiture
 . Through telling the story of how this style has developed\, he hopes to 
 unpick the difficulties of transliteration and translation\, not only from
  one language or alphabet to another\, but between different forms of arti
 stic representation and (often conflicting) cultures of memorialisation. H
 e will demonstrate the beauty of syncretism\, and why names offer great po
 ssibilities for an artistic intervention that embraces a diversity of infl
 uences\, from South African Ndebele mural art and the pazarlar of Istanbul
 \, to North American bio-hacking and the satire of Laurence Sterne. The pr
 esentation will end with the unveiling of Kabe’s painting for Jesus Coll
 ege\, followed by a conversation between the artist and Gates Scholar Seet
 ha Tan. About A T Kabe Wilson A T Kabe Wilson is the 2025/26 Artist in Res
 idence at Jesus College\, Cambridge. His work\, which spans a variety of m
