No surprises there - and we do have a lot of London-based recommendations for you this week - but putting this digest together also makes us realise just how many wonderful exhibitions and events take place in every pocket of this continent. Did you know, for example, there was an entire parade dedicated to cats in Ypres, Belgium last weekend? Yeah, we wish we'd been there too.

Walk towards it and you could see a rather apt sign on the side of the wooden hut: 'Tiny Space'. The project, conceived by Shai Hoffmann and Jouanna Hassoun, who have Israeli and Palestinian roots respectively, invited festival attendees to discuss and debate the contentious issue of the war in Gaza inside the intimate location. The meetings with changing participants didn’t have fixed beginnings or ends, but instead allowed interested parties to dr...
