SUMMARY:Historic Homes of Hampstead Village Guided Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Since its development from a village to an 18th Century spa town and then a Victorian suburb\, Hampstead has retained its unspoilt Georgian charm with many listed townhouses and terraces. \nIn the 19th and 20th Centuries this made it very popular with artists\, intellectuals and creatives of all kinds and there are many stories of influential figures who are former residents who left their mark on the area. \nThis includes several generations of architects\, such as Norman Shaw\, Ewan Christian and Erno Goldfinger\, many of whom built their own homes there\, adding to its architectural variety. Furthermore\, in the 20th Century the area gained a reputation as the location of several modernist architects’ experimental housing projects for wealthy clients\, including Hopkins House and Maxwell Fry’s Sun House. \nJoin our knowledgeable guide on this walking tour to learn more about the people and buildings that have shaped Hampstead\, where you will be introduced to a selection of the area’s finest architects’ homes\, historic houses\, and modernist masterpieces.

SUMMARY:The Poetry Brothel: Dead City
DESCRIPTION:Immersive spoken word\n\n\n\nThe city trembles\, its pulse muted beneath glass towers and sanctioned silence. The streets once thrummed with unruly song\, but now grassroots gatherings fade like chalk washed from stone. Yet in the cracks\, something stirs. A whisper. A spark refusing to die. \nThe ballroom doors creak open\, and the air shivers with electricity. Here\, the forgotten rise\, not as ghosts\, but as flames. \nInspired by the forbidden Bal des Folles\, where those caged in asylums were once paraded for the amusement of the Parisian elite\, we reclaim the spectacle: not as cruelty\, but as revolt. Masks become weapons. Costumes become truth. Laughter becomes riot. \nIn this dream of disobedience\, we speak in poetry\, prophecy\, and wildfire. \nThis is a night where performance becomes uprising\, where poetry slips between lips like a secret code\, where intimacy becomes a weapon against erasure. The past and present rebels dance together\, shaking the dust from a city that forgot how to feel.

DESCRIPTION:N’olcak Bu Yusuf Umut’un Hali? –  What Will Become Of Yusuf Umut? \n“I’m Yusuf Umut. People usually ask which one I actually use — Yusuf or Umut?\nI tell them I don’t really like either of them\, so I use both.\nMy grandfather insisted on Yusuf: ‘a prophet’s name\, may it bring blessings.’\nMy mother wanted Umut: ‘hope.’\nSo here I am — Yusuf Umut.” \nYusuf Umut tells the story of a young man who is running toward a freedom he can’t quite define\, yet cannot abandon.\nBut can this undefined sense of freedom finally carry him toward belonging — freeing him from fold-out couches\, rules\, and limits? \nLet’s also ask from here:\nWhat will become of Yusuf Umut? \nAwards\nSadri Alışık Theatre Awards 2024 / Nominee — Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical\nNew Theatre Magazine Awards 2023 / Winner — Best Solo Performance \n

SUMMARY:L.A. Salami meets Stage Door Guy
DESCRIPTION:L.A. SALAMI: \nAs much a philosopher as a popsmith\, articulate and versatile. One of the premier lyricists of his generation\, he remains curious\, still distinguishing the illusory from the eternal\, the true from the beguiling; keeping the faith\, in his own cynical yet impassioned way. \nL.A. Salami (Lookman Adekunle Salami) is a singer/songwriter from London\, known for crafting magnetic blues-rock songs with a postmodern twist.His love for music began when he first heard Bob Dylan on the radio\, subsequently leading him to explore more blues and folk music and inspiring him to write his own songs; unfortunately\, however\, he could not afford his own instrument and wasn’t introduced to one until he was given a guitar for his 21st birthday. After three months of soul-searching\, tapping into different creative avenues\, and sleeping rough\, Salami eventually had his first few songs written and set out to land some gigs. Success soon came knocking after relentless gigging\, starting with a tour support slot for Lianne La Havas in 2012.

SUMMARY:The Sun Can Be: An IPLA Collective Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Sun Can Be: an IPLA collective exhibition\, showcases the works of four young British-based poets operating in the fields of visual poetry\, experimental textual poetry\, text art\, and the asemic. \n\nThe works of the exhibition range from multimedia poetry\, self-portraiture\, and 3D poetry to typewriter art\, lino print\, and a prose-puzzle poem series exhibiting material\, form and method as conveyors of shifting\, alternate realities. From a triptych of calligrams that echo the Surrealism of Guillaume Apollinaire to a series of text art pieces\, to conceptual poetry that reinterprets perspective. The Sun Can Be expands on these themes through unconventional and diversified aesthetics that redefine traditional poetry\, and serves as a translation of the artistic intentions of the IPLA poets. \nhttps://inparentheses.cargo.site | Instagram \nIPLA Artists\nCameron Wade\nCameron Wade is a writer and poet based in London. His work explores the nature of storytelling\, the relationship between inner and outer realities\, non-linear storytelling\, and themes of madness\, ‘other’-spaces\, the eerie and the weird; experimenting with ergodic literature and meta-textuality through fiction\, prose-poetry\, visual and asemic poetry\, collage and performance. \nDanica Ignacio\nDanica Ignacio is a Filipino poet whose writing focuses on the juxtaposition of the ordinary and the non-ordinary by giving importance to the small. Mainly taking from more traditional forms of poetry\, her work aims to morph the everyday experience just enough to be unrecognisable while still maintaining its form. \nEleanor Wilders\nEleanor Wilders finds inspiration from the ignored details of routine and from the in-betweens of the everyday experience\, she crafts stories that question our assumptions about connection\, purpose\, and freedom. Her artistic practice leads to an exploration of exposure in today’s society; her work tries to confront the paradox of vulnerability in an age of hyper-connectivity\, whilst grappling with the tension between authenticity and public persona. \nMatthew Sokulsky\nMatthew Sokulsky is concerned with the tense relationship between nature and rational\, theology and logic\, and their ability (or not) to co-exist in the contemporary. His work experiments with traditional forms to create decidedly new poetry that at once exemplifies modernity while recognising the rich vein of myth and ritual to which he believes all poetry fixes its base. \n\nOpening hours:\nThe gallery will be opened to the public 12 noon to 5pm every Wednesday to Saturday \nOpening Night and Special View\nSaturday 9 August 2025\, 7-9pm / Bouda Gallery\nThe exhibition opens on 9 August with a special event featuring Tim Postovit\, a Czech poet\, performer\, and translator of Ukrainian origin. \nCelebrating cross-culture collaboration and international innovation the event will also include live performances by David Spittle\, Aimae Nimmo\, Matthew Sokulsky\, Danica Ignacio\, Eleanor Wilders\, Cameron Wade and many more to be announced. \nAbout Tom Postovit\nTim Postovit was born in Ukraine and has lived in the Czech Republic since the age of six. He studied philology at Charles University in Prague. He translates from Ukrainian and Russian. In 2019\, he published his debut collection of poems\, Magistrála (Highway). A poem from this book has been featured in the annual Best Czech Poetry anthology. He also performs slam poetry and holds the 2019 joint title for duo slam poetry. In 2021\, his second poetry collection came-out Motýlí pavilon (The Butterfly Pavilion). In 2022\, he was nominated for Václav Burian Prize. From 2022\, he has worked at Organization for Aid to Refugees (OPU) as a social worker for Ukrainian community. He is a member of a Czech Writers Association. He is based in Prague. \nIPLA and Friends.\nThursday August 14\, 2025\, 7-9pm / Bouda Gallery\nAn evening of experimental performance and readings from the IPLA Collective\, Simon Tyrell\, Irys Bird\, Oscar Sutherland-Dee\, Martin Wakefield and more to be announced! \nThe second event in the series features an array of bespoke new readings and performances including a world-first IPLA collaborative performance and poets travelling from across the country to read their brilliant new works for you at the historic Bouda Gallery. \nFurther accompanying events: \n\nAugust 16th\, 7 – 9 pm\nAugust 21st\, 7 – 9 pm\nAugust 23rd\, 7 – 9 pm\nAugust 28th\, 7 – 9 pm\nAugust 30th\, 7 – 9 pm\n\nThe Sun Can Be\, an exhibition by IPLA Collective\, is the Czech Centre’s Summer Artistic Residency — a pilot project offering a safe and supportive space for local artists and the community.
