Coming your way this week is the V&A South Kensington's Friday Late: Feminist Futures on 26th April, coinciding with this year's Performance Festival 2024 which runs until 28th April. You can also unleash your creativity on 9th May with a series of hands-on workshops and meet scientists, artists and designers bringing science to life at the Science Museum's Create Lates.
