Marina Warner
25 Nov 2025 – The Cosmic Oval @ Warburg Institute, 6pm
November 17, 2025
Join for an evening of conversation at the Warburg Institute with writer Ella Finer and eminent, writer, mythographer and cultural historian Marina Warner.
Ella Finer’s new book The Cosmic Oval takes a nocturnal entrance into an exploration of feminist cosmologies and the way knowledge moves through bodies and time. Beginning from The Cosmic Oval, this conversation explores interwoven strands of cosmology and culture and images of the cosmos, responding imaginatively to architectural critic and designer Charles Jencks’ microcosmic design for The Cosmic House’s entrance hall. Together, Finer and Warner ask how histories are composed and how the fabric of culture transforms through time.
The Cosmic Oval will be available for purchase and signing on the night, with opportunities for discussion and exchange.
The Cosmic Oval is commissioned by The Cosmic House as part of our ‘Post-Modern Cosmologies’ series, and is published in collaboration with Spiral House Editions, a new imprint of Silver Press. Order your copy here.
Free entry, booking essential.
