Cultural Capital: In the Black Fantastic exhibition at the Hayward Gallery and The Railway Children Return

Our weekly show on what’s going on in London

Welcome to the new edition of Cultural Capital.

This week, we’re headed to the Hayward Gallery to see the brilliant new exhibition In the Black Fantastic, a glorious, glittering display of work by artists of colour who span continents and generations, but whose way of seeing brings them together.

Thing of the Week is a very handsome portrait of a rather dashing young Charles Dickens that was lost for more than 130 years before it turned up in a house sale in South Africa (random), and I’ll be trying not to sob my way through a review of a children’s movie - The Railway Children Return, a sweet and fitting sequel to the 1970 classic (which is also impossible to get through without snivelling).

Enjoy!
