📍Anish Kapoor at Southbank Centre’s .gallery, running 16 June to 18 October 2026.

Suspended from the ceiling is Anish Kapoor’s Mount Moriah at the Gate of the Ghetto (2022) - a gruesome, threatening, blood-red mass, weighing four and a half tonnes.

JCM’s Liat Rosenthal chatted with Ralph Rugoff — curator of the exhibition and Director of the Hayward Gallery — to unpack Kapoor’s fascination with sacrifice: an ancient ritual which reckons with death and faith … somewhere between horror 🩸 and wonder ✨

The work takes its name from Mount Moriah — the site where, in the Book of Genesis, Abraham is commanded to sacrifice his son Isaac, and a ram is offered in his place.

Anish Kapoor opens at the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, tomorrow, 16 June, and runs until 18 October 2026. What a way to mark the end of Jewish Culture Month tomorrow, with the opening of Anish Kapoor’s exhibition, an artist whose own mother came from an Iraqi-Jewish family, and whose grandfather was a cantor.

Can science and faith coexist?

For Jewish Culture Month, we visited the Natural History Museum to explore how scientific discovery and Jewish belief can go hand in hand. From Maimonides to modern science, we look at how faith and reason together can inspire wonder at the world around us.

If you’ve seen Jeremy Sassoon’s MOJO shows, you’ll know MOJO stands for Musicians Of Jewish Origin, a live concert celebrating the extraordinary influence Jewish songwriters, performers, and musicians have had on the music we all love.

So why are there two different shows?

MOJO 1: The Icons is the original hit production that traces a century of mainstream music history. From George Gershwin and Irving Berlin to Carole King, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, and Amy Winehouse, it’s the ultimate journey through some of the biggest household names in popular music.

MOJO 2: The Unsung Heroes digs deeper into the stories behind the music. Focusing heavily on the 1960s, 70s, and alternative legends, it shines a spotlight on artists you might never have realised had Jewish roots or connections. Alongside names like Mama Cass and Stan Getz, MOJO 2 explores some of the show’s more surprising categories - artists with Jewish fathers, including Jamie Cullum, Marc Bolan, Bob Marley (reputedly), and Mark Knopfler, as well as artists who converted to Judaism, such as Daryl Hall and Jackie Wilson.

Whether it’s the iconic chart-toppers of MOJO 1 or the fascinating hidden connections and vintage rock vibes of MOJO 2, both shows combine incredible music, witty storytelling, and plenty of moments to sing along.

The neighborhood that became part of Amy Winehouse’s story.

Even after winning Grammys and topping charts around the world, Amy Winehouse always returned to Camden. It wasn’t just a place she lived; it was her home, her community, and a massive part of her identity. From her local pub, The Hawley Arms, to the streets where she knew the market traders by name, Camden embraced her as one of its own.

Take a walk with us through the North London neighbourhood that shaped an icon.
