SUMMARY:Viktorie Hanišová: The Mushroom Gatherer
DESCRIPTION:Why do Czechs love mushrooms so much? And what happens when the forest becomes a refuge from the rest of the world? Join acclaimed Czech novelist Viktorie Hanišová to celebrate the English-language publication of The Mushroom Gatherer (Houbařka)\, a compelling novel of solitude\, family\, memory and the longing for human connection. \nDeep in the Bohemian Forest\, Sára lives a life of her own making. For seven years\, she has followed the same woodland paths\, gathering mushrooms to sell and keeping the rest of the world at a safe distance. Her days are quiet\, solitary and meticulously ordered – until the death of her mother begins to unsettle everything she has tried to leave behind. \nAs Sára sorts through her baskets of chanterelles and boletes\, she is also forced to confront the memories\, wounds and complicated family ties that have shaped her life. The forest offers her freedom and refuge\, but it also becomes the place where the past catches up with her. \nIn conversation\, Hanišová will explore the novel’s themes of isolation\, vulnerability\, family and trauma\, as well as the distinctly Czech passion for mushroom picking. \nViktorie Hanišová is a Czech novelist\, translator\, and teacher\, widely regarded as one of the most distinctive voices of her generation. She studied English and German at Charles University in Prague and debuted in 2015 with the novel Anežka. Her subsequent books include The Mushroom Gatherer (as Houbařka\, 2018)\, Rekonstrukce (2019)\, the short story collection Dlouhá trať (2020)\, Beton a hlína (2021)\, and the novel Neděle odpoledne (2022). Her political novella Tvůj táta je v ohni is forthcoming in 2026. \nViktorie Hanišová\, The Mushroom Gatherer\, translated by Véronique Firkusny\, Seagull Books\, 2025\, 300p \nAdmission: £5 (+ Eventbrite fee) \nThis event is part of the 30th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre London

SUMMARY:Homes\, Hauntedness & Belonging | Owl Bookshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special conversation about Homes\, Hauntedness and Belonging\, exploring what happens when the spectral enters the domestic and what haunted houses reveal about the worlds we inhabit. \nTogether\, Caitlin Blackwell Baines\, Essie Fox and Leon Craig will discuss how spectral encounters\, genre expectations and historical accounts can all be analysed to consider who belongs and who is left out. From Catherine’s clever feminist retelling of Wuthering Heights\, to The Decadence’s hedonistic nightmare holiday ensemble\, and How to Build a Haunted House’s erudite non-fiction journey from Strawberry Hill to Himeji Castle in Japan\, these works interrogate familiar ideas of hauntedness and the stories we tell about our homes. Whom do we exclude and whom do we welcome inside? How can the past and present coexist? \nAt heart\, haunted houses are never just about ghosts. They are also about ownership\, power\, memory and the cultural anxieties of the places and times in which they appear. Gather round for troublesome ghosts\, gothic drama and pre-Halloween atmosphere. \n  \n\n\n\n\nCaitlin Blackwell Baines is an art historian and author\, specialising in Georgian art and architecture. Born in Toronto\, she later emigrated to the UK to pursue an MA from the Courtauld Institute of Art and a PhD from the University of York in art history. Upon completing her studies\, she moved to the Isle of Bute off the Western coast of Scotland\, and worked as a curator at Mount Stuart\, a late Victorian Gothic Revival palace. When she isn’t visiting haunted houses and recording her ghost story-themed history podcast\, Haunted Homes\, Caitlin is based in East Sussex.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEssie Fox was born and raised in Herefordshire. Always an avid reader\, she now writes historical novels. Essie has appeared at many literary events\, including giving lectures at the V&A\, the Westminster Library\, and the National Gallery in London. She also hosts a podcast called Talking the Gothic. Essie’s debut\, The Somnambulist\, was shortlisted for the National Book Awards\, and featured on Channel 4’s TV Book Club. The Fascination was an instant Sunday Times Top Ten best seller. Dangerous\, a Regency crime thriller featuring Lord Byron\, has been selected as a Times Book of the Month … as have her other novels\, including the latest – Catherine: A retelling of Wuthering Heights.\n\n\n\n\nLeon Craig is the author of queer haunted house novel The Decadence (2025) and gothic short story collection Parallel Hells (2022) Leon’s work has also featured in Hazlitt\, Elsewhere: A Journal of Place and Berlin Babel anthology and her non-fiction has been published in the Sunday Times\, the TLS and the  Telegraph. Born in North London\, she now lives in Berlin.

SUMMARY:How to Be Feral: Movement Practices to Re-Wild Your Body with Claire Loussouarn
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a four-session online course exploring the feral intelligence of the body: how it listens\, questions\, adapts\, resists habit\, and remembers what modern life teaches us to forget. \n‘How to Be Feral: Movement Practices to Re-Wild Your Body’ invites you to explore unfamiliar ways of moving that unsettle what we think we know about our bodies. Drawing from Claire Loussouarn’s book How to Be Feral\, we’ll practise trusting instinct before understanding\, and learning from the more-than-human world.  \nAcross four fortnightly sessions\, we’ll use movement as a mode of thinking and knowing\, alongside simple forms of movement mapping\, to explore how movement can open different perspectives\, train attention\, and reconnect us to parts of ourselves that have been quietened by social and cultural conditioning. Together we’ll approach our everyday environments as something to be received\, listened to and moved with. \nLed by movement artist Dr Claire Loussouarn and hosted by IMT Gallery\, the course offers a reflective and practical space for artists\, performers\, writers\, researchers\, educators\, somatic practitioners\, ecologists\, and anyone curious about how the body can think\, sense and know. \n🌿 No movement experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to explore. \nThe course begins 4 October 2026. \nFollow the link below for full details\, and to book.

SUMMARY:Talk 90s To Me x The Long Play Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Journalist and broadcaster Miranda Sawyer brings her smash hit podcast Talk ’90s to Me to the prestigious ICMP London for the podcast’s first ever live event! Yasi Salek\, host of the much-loved US music podcast Bandsplain\, joins Miranda on the sofa for this special evening to discuss a huge figure who exemplifies the ’90s perhaps better than any other\, Courtney Love. \nFew people command as much intrigue and interrogation as Courtney Love\, from her time as Hole frontwoman\, relationship with Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and the fallout after his suicide\, to her experience of becoming a mother\, admirable film career\, history with drugs and tumultuous relationship with the public and press – not to mention Kurt’s bandmates and any other celebrities who have wrongfully crossed her path. Yasi\, a friend and huge admirer of Courtney\, will bring personal experience and excellent anecdotes to the evening\, as she and Miranda explore why Courtney’s controversial feminism has been reassessed over the years\, how she has continued to dominate headlines\, and why generation upon generation are captivated by her untamed spirit and style. \nJoin Miranda\, Yasi and a live audience at ICMP on Thursday 15th October to celebrate Courtney’s wild and lasting contribution to ’90s culture and beyond. \nThis show will be recorded and broadcast on all Talk ’90s to Me channels later in the year.

SUMMARY:The Lure of… : October | Cockpit Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Join the team behind the independent investigative news outlet Byline Times for an entertaining evening of challenging discussion to help us understand the unprecedented times we are living in  – and why they are happening – with those with an inside track. \nThere’s no shortage of strong opinions in Britain today – what’s missing is good-faith debate. Too much of our national conversation has become performative. It seems designed to inflame rather than illuminate. \nThat’s why Byline Times launched our series of ‘Out of the Comfort Zone’ events at the Cockpit in 2025. These interactive discussions have sparked genuinely unexpected and illuminating moments. \nAt a time when many of Britain’s most powerful media proprietors remain distant and unseen\, Byline Times does the opposite: we step out from behind the editorial line and into the room. \nHosted by Byline Times Editor-in-Chief Hardeep Matharu and Co-Founder Peter Jukes\, plus a wide-ranging variety of guest authors\, campaigners and thought leaders. Previous guests have included: broadcaster and academic Bonnie Greer\, journalist and activist Femi Oluwole\, novelist Jake Arnott\, Camerados founder Maff Potts\, XR and Humanity Project co-founder Clare Farrell\, author and Women’s Equality Party co-founder Catherine Mayer\, Conservative commentator Albie Amankona\, investigative journalist and author Nafeez Ahmed\, Asylum Speakers founder Jaz O’Hara\, author and broadcaster John Sweeney and many many more… \nIn addition to current affairs\, there’s also laughter\, readings\, music\, poetry – there’s even been dancing and a good old sing song round the old Joanna – every night is different!

SUMMARY:Living With... Love | Cockpit Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The second in a series of talks bringing together professionals from the arts\, science\, religion and philosophy\, to ask: how can we help each other navigate and connect as fully as possible with the defining experiences of being human? \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nDiane Glover\n(Psychotherapist) \nJulie Beaman\n(Head of Centre\, Guildhall Young Artists Online) \nRebecca Brierley\n(Community Reconciliation Programme Manager\, St Ethelburga’s) \nShiry Rashkovsky\n(Violist) \nDr King-Ho Leung\n(Lecturer in Philosophy\, Theology and the Arts\, Kings College London) \n\n\n\n\nForeword – Natasha Wood\, Curator and Host\n\n\n\n\nPatient ‘B’ hadn’t followed any of the advice I’d given her the week before and the wound was getting worse. She appeared disinterested\, right up until the time to leave. Then her questions came on like a flood. Why wasn’t the wound getting better? What could be done? What did I think? What about the other foot? On and on it went… Was it really more advice she wanted? She never followed any of it. More love seemed closer to the mark\, in the sense of care and attention\, but I couldn’t be sure. It wasn’t something I could ever have asked her directly. And what is love (as opposed to good advice)? Why is it so hard to define when we all need it so much – a close second to oxygen\, water and food – just to keep us alive? Is it in our cells? Does it hold us together? Should it be part of a treatment plan? And how can we give it away to others (in a 20 minute appointment\, 13 times a day) without using ourselves up? \nSuitable for an adult audience (18 and above). The content may touch on sensitive issues.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Stephanie Phillips (Big Joanie): In Conversation & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:We Were Here: A History of Black People and Alternative Music\n\n\n\nStephanie Phillips joins The Long Play Sessions and discusses We Were Here as she rewrites the story of rock ’n’ roll and alternative music\, placing Black artists at the heart of a history they’ve always helped shape. \n\nFrom pioneering figures such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe\, Little Richard\, Jimi Hendrix\, Tina Turner\, Betty Davis\, Poly Styrene and Bad Brains to today’s trailblazing musicians\, Stephanie Phillips reveals the profound influence of Black creativity on alternative music across nearly a century.\n\n\n\nExploring why Black artists have continued to embrace alternative music despite being marginalised by the mainstream industry\, Phillips makes a compelling case that there is no alternative music without Black innovation. Looking ahead\, she celebrates a new generation of Gen Z musicians redefining the possibilities of punk\, metal\, hardcore and indie\, and shaping the future of the genre.

SUMMARY:The Lure of... : September
DESCRIPTION:Join the team behind the independent investigative news outlet Byline Times for an entertaining evening of challenging discussion to help us understand the unprecedented times we are living in  – and why they are happening – with those with an inside track. \nThere’s no shortage of strong opinions in Britain today – what’s missing is good-faith debate. Too much of our national conversation has become performative. It seems designed to inflame rather than illuminate. \nThat’s why Byline Times launched our series of ‘Out of the Comfort Zone’ events at the Cockpit in 2025. These interactive discussions have sparked genuinely unexpected and illuminating moments. \nAt a time when many of Britain’s most powerful media proprietors remain distant and unseen\, Byline Times does the opposite: we step out from behind the editorial line and into the room. \nHosted by Byline Times Editor-in-Chief Hardeep Matharu and Co-Founder Peter Jukes\, plus a wide-ranging variety of guest authors\, campaigners and thought leaders. Previous guests have included: broadcaster and academic Bonnie Greer\, journalist and activist Femi Oluwole\, novelist Jake Arnott\, Camerados founder Maff Potts\, XR and Humanity Project co-founder Clare Farrell\, author and Women’s Equality Party co-founder Catherine Mayer\, Conservative commentator Albie Amankona\, investigative journalist and author Nafeez Ahmed\, Asylum Speakers founder Jaz O’Hara\, author and broadcaster John Sweeney and many many more… \nIn addition to current affairs\, there’s also laughter\, readings\, music\, poetry – there’s even been dancing and a good old sing song round the old Joanna – every night is different! \n  \nGet your tickets HERE

SUMMARY:AI and the Enshittification of the Media
DESCRIPTION:What’s gone wrong with the media? We’ve seen decades of decline and collapse as business models make millions for shareholders based on recurring cuts and downgraded quality. \nContent suffers as quality journalism is replaced by churnalism and clickbait. And we are now increasingly seeing AI content threatening to replace the work of human journalists. \nThe NUJ London digital media branch has organised an evening of discussion about the problems facing the media and journalism\, led by Cory Doctorow. \nCory will discuss the issues in his recent non-fiction books: \n\nThe Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life after AI (June 2026): A provocative guide to what’s good\, bad\, and (profoundly) stupid about AI.\nEnshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It (Oct 2025): How misogyny\, conspiratorialism\, surveillance\, manipulation\, fraud and AI slop are drowning the internet.\n\nCory will also be joined by journalists who have been victims of the decaying media\, recently made redundant as their skills are no longer required by the business to discuss what’s gone wrong.
