SUMMARY:Erev Yom HaShoah: ‘People Without History Are Dust’: An In Conversation with Dr Anna Hájková and Rabbi Kamila Kopřivová
DESCRIPTION:Where are the stories of great queer love in the Shoah? There are almost none. Dr Anna Hájková examines why the history of same-sex desire during the Shoah – queerness among Jews persecuted by the Nazis for their race – is largely absent from history books\, and how restoring these narratives can contribute to a more inclusive understanding of the Holocaust. \nBased on extensive archival research and oral histories\, her book\, recently awarded the 75th National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category\, offers concise\, accessible insight into the queer history of the Holocaust for both general readers and specialists. On Monday\, 13th April\, Anna will discuss her research in conversation with Rabbi Kamila Kopřivová on the occasion of Yom HaShoah\, the annual day of Holocaust remembrance in the Jewish calendar. \n\n6.30 pm – Erev Yom HaShoah Service\n7 pm – In Conversation\, followed by Q&A and refreshments\nEarly Bird Tickets: £15 members / £20 non-members\nEarly bird ends Monday\, 6 April\nBOOK NOW\n\nDr Anna Hájková is a Reader of modern European continental history at the University of Warwick. She is the author of\, among others\, The Last Ghetto: An Everyday History of Theresienstadt (2020) and People Without History Are Dust: Queer Desire in the Holocaust (2025)\, which won the 75th National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category in February. Hájková is the pioneer of queer Holocaust history.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions - Melissa Auf der Maur - Even the Good Girls Will Cry - Book Launch & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Long Play Sessions: Melissa Auf der Maur with Even the Good Girls Will Cry\nSat 11 Apr 2026 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM The Venue\, ICMP (Queens Park Campus)\, NW6 6PA \nAn Afternoon with Melissa Auf der Maur – Even the Good Girls Will Cry \nHosted by Stephanie Phillips \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/long-play-sessions-melissa-auf-der-maur-even-the-good-girls-will-cry-tickets-1985907174819?aff=oddtdtcreator \nJoin us for an intimate and compelling afternoon with Melissa Auf der Maur – acclaimed musician\, writer and former bassist of Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins – as she discusses her new memoir\, Even the Good Girls Will Cry\, a vivid and emotionally rich portrait of the 1990s alternative rock era. \nThis event is part of The Long Play Sessions\, ICMP’s curated series spotlighting influential writers\, artists and thinkers who shape the way we understand music\, creativity and contemporary culture. Each session opens a window into the stories behind the art – blending conversation\, cultural insight and lived experience. \nIn Even the Good Girls Will Cry\, Auf der Maur offers a clear‑eyed\, fiercely honest account of her unexpected ascent through one of the most iconic\, turbulent periods in modern rock history. From her beginnings in Montreal’s bohemian music scene\, to joining Hole at a time of grief and reinvention\, to performing alongside figures such as Courtney Love\, Billy Corgan\, Dave Grohl\, Rufus Wainwright and Michael Stipe\, her memoir captures the chaos\, beauty and brutality of the last analogue decade. \nFar from nostalgia\, Auf der Maur explores identity\, ambition\, survival and self‑expression in an era before social media – when artists crafted their worlds long before they crafted their online personas. Her reflections offer rare female perspectives from within a landscape that was often mythologised but rarely shown through a woman’s eyes. \nWith praise from Shirley Manson\, Walton Goggins\, Natasha Lyonne and Martha Wainwright\, the memoir is a powerful\, poetic and unflinchingly human portrait of a generation that defined modern alternative culture. \nWhat to Expect\n\nA talk from Melissa Auf der Maur on the stories\, themes and revelations behind Even the Good Girls Will Cry\nDeep‑dive discussion on creativity\, identity and navigating fame within 1990s alternative rock\nInsights into authorship\, memory and the process of capturing a cultural moment on the page\nAudience Q&A\, offering a chance to engage directly with Melissa about her life\, art and writing\nBook signing opportunity — bring your copy or purchase one at the event\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a thoughtful\, inspiring and powerfully personal evening with one of alternative rock’s most distinctive and fearless voices. \nLocation\nThe Venue\, ICMP (Queens Park Campus)\, NW6 6PA

SUMMARY:Sail to Hope – Solo Exhibition by Esra Kizir Gokcen
DESCRIPTION:With Sail to Hope\, Esra Kizir Gokcen presents her response to the far-reaching effects of globalisation. Born from human empathy rather than political drive\, her work questions the hierarchies that place humans above other life forms. \nIn paintings inspired by Eastern miniature art\, natural forces intermingle with crowds of abstract shapes and figures to represent the movements of people and cultures between past and present. Collaged paper boats folded from world maps symbolise the shared humanity of precarious passages too often reduced to numbers in news headlines. \nThe ubiquitous origami vessels also feature in a large-scale multi-media installation at the heart of the exhibition. These were co-created in workshops with diverse community groups. Participants christened each boat with a personal message of hope\, inspiring the exhibition title. A soundscape by Grammy-winning jazz saxophonist Tim Garland complements this collaborative work. \nThe artists have worked together since 2023\, when Garland commissioned Gokcen to create paintings for his orchestral work. Visuals for the current Moment of Departure tour constitute part of this exhibition. Tim Garland will play a selection from his current CD in several intimate concerts on both Saturdays. The afternoon performances will be followed by a Q&A with both artists who believe art can communicate positive messages and elevate the resilience of the human spirit. A selection of prints and posters are available in support of War Child. \nThe exhibition open times are as follows: \nMonday-Friday 12noon – 7pm\nSaturday 11am – 2pm\nSunday 12non – 4pm \nClick on the booking links for the music and art afternoons on 1 March and 8 March

SUMMARY:Wartime Christmas at the Royal Hospital Chelsea
DESCRIPTION:Christmas at the Royal Hospital Chelsea has long been a season of joy and tradition – from the stirring of the Christmas pudding to the ceremonial cutting of the festive cake\, and the moving Christmas service in the Hospital’s Chapel. \nBut behind the warmth of these celebrations lies a remarkable story of resilience. As we mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War\, join historian Martin Cawthorne for a poignant talk exploring how the Royal Hospital and its Chelsea Pensioners faced the challenges of wartime – even as bombs fell and rations tightened. \nDrawing from his acclaimed book The Royal Hospital Chelsea at War\, Martin will reflect on how the festive season unfolded during one of the darkest chapters in the Hospital’s history. Discover how Christmas became a symbol of hope\, compassion\, and duty on the Home Front\, even as the Hospital itself stood in the line of fire. \nThis is a moving and insightful event that honours the spirit of those who served – and those who kept the flame of Christmas burning through adversity. \nBook Christmas Entertainment in London

SUMMARY:Language & Chaos For Beginners: A Lab For New Writers
DESCRIPTION:A playful workshop for the creatively curious. In games of chance and memory excavation\, we’ll spark new language\, scenes\, and storylines. \nDate and time: \nThursday\, October 16 · 6 – 8pm GMT+1. Doors at 5:45pm \nLocation: \nThe Residence Gallery \n229 Victoria Park Road London E9 7HD \nAbout this event: \nDo you ever feel like creative writing is unfamiliar territory\, that your attempts at crafting prose are quickly cut short by self-doubt\, or that––when it comes to language and story––you’re stuck in frustrating patterns? \nThis class invites you into a space of experimentation—through games of chance\, memory excavation\, and playful dives into our own half-remembered myths\, we’ll spark the creation of new language\, scenes\, and storylines. It’s particularly well-suited to those from visual arts backgrounds\, offering intuitive\, image-driven approaches to language and story. We are interested in the emergent: the ideas and worlds which appear in us regardless of our own beliefs about our writing skill. By loosening our grip on outcome and leaning into surprise\, we’ll sidestep habitual thinking and discover unexpected access points into storytelling. \nIf you have no English literature background whatsoever\, you’ll feel right at home; no prior literary training is assumed or required. Our approach is accessible and unpretentious\, with an emphasis on creative exploration rather than jargon. \nOur focus is on generative practices—approaches that forge a way into writing when you feel stuck\, uninspired\, or unsure where to begin. Game objects like dice and tarot cards will help us invite random chance and ‘good chaos’ into our work\, encouraging surprise and spontaneity in the creative process. You’ll collect a range of practical tools to carry with you: ways to jumpstart new projects\, tap into unfamiliar voices\, re-enter stalled scenes\, and re-engage with memory. Curiosity will be our engine as we explore accessible\, repeatable methods designed to move us beyond creative ruts and into fresh terrain. \nYou might walk away with the beginnings of something new—a character\, a scene\, an idea—but the real goal is to give you an experience of writing that feels alive and personally meaningful. This is a space to write without pressure\, to get curious\, and to let your creative instincts lead the way \nWhat to Bring:\n– A notebook and pen (I strongly encourage this over a laptop\, but of course bring whatever tools meet your needs)\n– Things to make your seated area more comfortable\, like a pillow or a blanket\n– a coin\, a 6-sided dice\, and a tarot deck (only if you have them––we’ll have extras)\n– A favourite fairytale– no need for a physical copy\, just have one in mind! \nArianna Reiche is the author of Warden / Star (Tangerine Press) and At The End Of Every Day (Atria Books/Simon & Schuster)\, and has been praised by The New York Times for her ‘enormous gifts’. She was Founding Editor of The Wrong Quarterly\, and her short fiction has appeared in Ambit Magazine\, Joyland\, The Mechanics’ Institute Review\, Berlin’s SAND Journal\, Feels Blind Literary\, Lighthouse Press\, and Popshot. She’s written features for ArtNews\, New Scientist\, The London Fashion Week Daily\, Fest Magazine\, Vogue International\, and Vice. She teaches on City University’s creative writing MFA programme\, where she also carries out doctoral research on interactive narratives and metafiction\, with a focus on multimodal\, non-linear storytelling.

Following her debut release ‘Nina’\, a liberation chant and reclamation of freedom\, she went on to release her transcendent project\, ‘Darkness at Play’ which reflects her observations of the world\, seeking hope amidst injustice\, and explorations of the divine feminine as a healing force. 2024 sees anaiis add to her extensive list of collaborations with a joint mini-album with Brazilian Group Grupo Cosmo\, including features from Luedji Luna\, and Sessa – before a stunning new solo album in Fall 2025. \nSouth London post-punk band Goat Girl are committed to grassroots music\, community engagement and addressing issues like gentrification\, climate change\, migration and social injustice.

I am passionate to community knowledge production\, co-production\, and participatory methodology as well as grassroot movements promotion. I have become an active member of the community and have led several projects that combine my passion for poetry and LGBTQ+ rights. Seven years ago\, I started Newham Poetry Group\, a grassroot initiative that facilitates access to creative writing for people who speak English as their second or third language as well as engaging with marginalised communities through artistic activities such as open mics\, spoken words or even publishing their own books. \nI also co-founded Queer Newham and Borderless local initiatives that bring visibility to LGBTQ+ issues in my area and support LGBTQ+ refugees. We work closely with the LB Newham\, community groups and neighbours to tackle discrimination\, hate crime and other issues that impact us. Simultaneously\, I founded Casa Sofia in Colombia\, my home country. Casa Sofia is a collective of creative community artists that use artistic approach to connect people\, challenge dispowenred narratives and support local initiatives. \nSimo Lagnawi. Gnawa master Simo Lagnawi is an ambassador of Moroccan culture in London.

Each performance is a wholehearted expression of devotion from the UK’s leading Guembri player – a North-African bass instrument constructed from wood and cowhide\, with gut strings. Whether through crossover groups such as Electric Jalaba and the Gnawa Blues All-Stars\, or through hosting traditional ceremonial evenings – known as Lilas – the intention is always to bring the same healing energy through to the fore in each new creation and spread the Gnawa tradition through the UK in the process. \nRoy McFarlane FRSL\nRoy McFarlane is a Poet\, Writer and former Youth & Community Worker born in Birmingham of Jamaican parentage\, spending most of his years living in Wolverhampton and the Black Country and now living in Brighton.

SUMMARY:The Vegan Tigress - London Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A 19th-century feminist fairytale writer accidentally summons a ghost. The spirit is the highly offended mother of the lover the writer spurned years before. The opposing worlds of free spirits and corsets collide… \nClaire Parker’s new play shines a light on Mary De Morgan\, a writer\, a woman of independent means\, a suffragist and an activist. Mary wrote several volumes of fairy tales\, tearing up the rule book on expected outcomes for boys\, girls and happy ever afters. \nShe grew up amongst artists and activists in a circle of free-thinking Pre-Raphaelites and would frequently read her stories to their children. \nThe play celebrates the art and act of storytelling. One of De Morgan’s fantastical tales is woven into this witty reimagining of the moment a formidable ghost from Mary’s past forces her to re-evaluate her own story as she finds herself on the cusp of a life-changing journey. \nAudience Responses \n“fearless theatre in love with storytelling” \n“performances are magnificent and the writing sublime.” \n“full of surprises\, revelation and humour” \n“clever and very moving”

SUMMARY:The Poetry Brothel: Feed the fire with my fear
DESCRIPTION:The Poetry Brothel is a sanctuary for the misfits\, the dreamers\, the beautifully strange souls of London. In this idiosyncratic temple\, you’ll encounter a cast of characters birthed from the deepest corners of our poets’ minds. For a modest token\, our poets will invite you into their worlds\, offering a one-on-one experience that is uniquely yours – a taste of genuine connection\, a glimpse into the raw and untamed heart of humanity\, delivered through poetry that is as experimental as it is intimate\, as messy as it is real. \nFEED THE FIRE WITH MY FEAR \nStep into a realm where shadows dance with truth\, and every word peels back the layers of our collective anxieties. At this immersive spoken word event\, poets beckon you into a labyrinth of thought\, where personal and collective dreads intertwine\, where the world and its illusions are delicately unraveled. Here\, fear is both a mirror and a mask—a force that shapes\, binds\, and distorts. Yet\, within the verses lies a challenge: to confront the abyss\, to find authenticity amidst chaos\, and to reclaim the fragmented self. This night is not just a performance but a philosophical journey\, a ritual of words that invites you to question the narratives you hold dear and to discover what lies beyond the veil of fear.

These workshops will be guided by a local artist as well as spoken word poet\,\nTia Camilleri\, who will help generate powerful messages that add an additional layer of meaning to the\nartwork. \nSaturday 28th September will be focused on live music. In addition to a diverse line-up of\nprofessional musical acts\, including singers\, musicians and bands\, there will also be performances\nfrom a roaming Shakespearean troupe. \nAcross both days\, roaming actors\, musicians (and acrobats from Badoosh circus theatre company)\nwill be bringing Gabriel’s Wharf to life with impromptu performances – delighting guests with surprise\nencounters. DJ duo\, Double Agent 7\, (renowned for playing floor-fillers exclusively on vinyl 45s) will\nensure a vibrant atmosphere while performances from comedians will bring additional smiles and\nlaughter. \nWhilst enjoying the festival\, guests can also browse the independent shops and meet the creative\nmakers who have made Gabriel’s Wharf their home (including Liz and Frances from Potters’ Yard Arts\,\nLisette from Gabu Chocolate\, and a wealth of other artists from Southbank Printmakers and Skylark\nGalleries. \nGabriel’s Wharf Arts Festival is designed to grab attention and bring this often overlooked but beloved\npart of London into the spotlight. With two jam-packed days of creativity\, performance\, and\ncommunity\, it’s the perfect cure for post-Summer Holiday blues that will also give London locals and\nvisitors alike\, a chance to explore a destination they may not even know exists.
