The Human Touch: Making Art, Leaving Traces is a new exhibition at the FitzwilliamMuseum that explores the role of touch in human experience. This exploration incorporates works of art spanning 4,000 years from across the globe, looking at the ways that humans have used and still use touch to leave a mark on and find a place in the world. Ancient Egyptian limestone sculptures stand alongside panel paintings and medieval manuscripts, including re-analysed pieces from historically significant artists such as Rembrandt, Michelangelo and Rodin. Plus, there’s work frommore contemporary artists like Frank Auerbach, Judy Chicago and Donald Rodney. The exhibition is open until 3 May – head to the FitzwilliamMuseum website to find out more and book tickets (admission is free). fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk THE HUMAN TOUCH
Fancy helping to fill the streets with colour and light this month? Well now you can, with this year’s WindowWanderland. Organised by Cambridge City Council, this is the first time the event has been held in Cambridge, adding to the list of cities that have participated since the first event was held in Bristol in 2015. Last year, we saw windows up and down the country come to life with cheerful rainbow displays, helping to keep spirits up during what was a particularly trying 12 months. This January’s WindowWanderland provides a chance for the local community to come together again, creating glowing galleries to illuminate the city’s streets after dark. You are welcome to transform the windows of your home, business, school or shop, or you could even take part by decorating the windows of your car or front door. If you’d like to take part, you can sign up on the WindowWanderland event page (it’s free), so that your window can be mapped on the website to create a local trail. Anyone with access to a street-facing window is invited to join in, and it’s running from 11 to 24 January. You can find plenty of ideas and inspiration for your window display on the WindowWanderland website. windowwanderland.com/gallery WINDOW WANDERLAND
