SUMMARY:London Loo Tour
DESCRIPTION:It’s Not the Bog-Standard London Experience! \nPrepare to be immersed (metaphorically\, that is!) in a world where the humble toilet becomes a portal to explore history\, anthropology\, art\, architecture\, identity\, and of course\, our sense of humour. \nFrom the earliest latrines through to the future of flushing\, your guide will take you on a whirlwind tour through the history of Britain’s public toilets\, with plenty of interesting sights and practical tips along the way. You’ll answer all the questions you never knew you had… How did the Romans wipe their bottoms?  Was there really a man named Thomas Crapper? How long will you spend in the smallest room in a lifetime? And why do we even call it a loo? \nIt’s the perfect day out for anyone who likes to dive a bit deeper… lifelong Londoners and first time visitors alike! One thing is for sure: you may never think about a simple visit to the lavatory the same way again!

SUMMARY:ARTIFICIAL GO + NO PEELING
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents… \nARTIFICIAL GO\nNO PEELING\nWednesday 13 May\nNew River Studios\, 199 Eade Rd\, Harringay\, London\, N4 1DN\n7.30pm | £10 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/P1af2a986141 \nARTIFICIAL GO hail from Cincinnati\, USA\, and bring the beat to life with their New / No / Whatever Wave weirdness! Last year\, they released ‘Musical Chairs’\, building on 2024’s ‘Hopscotch Fever’\, an album of ten existential post-punk chamber pop tracks. Recorded at Lambda Research and the haunted attic of the band’s house\, the core trio of Angie Willcutt\, Micah Wu\, and Cole Gilfilen have traded the sparse jangle of their debut for a broader\, fuller sound. ‘Musical Chairs’ deftly meshes the angular excitability of ‘Hopscotch Fever’ with a spectral warmth and expensiveness able to encompass acoustic guitars\, Wu’s almost metaphysical funk bass lines\, tape loops and blips and bleeps\, a guest spot by Eric Dietrich (of The Drin and Sorry Eric) on saxophone\, and Gilfilen’s hip moving boom-bap drumming add to the excitement. \nIn Willcutt’s hands\, the struggles\, and at times terrors\, of our current age are playfully subverted with agile world play and dynamic vocalization that moves from sweet and dreamy to cartoonishly exaggerated as she charts an emotional course through such topics as the difficulties of playing the role of “woman” in a misogynist world (“Playing Puppet”) or the injustice of anthropocentric hierarchy (“Tightrope Walker”). Musical Chairs is serious music not meant to be taken too seriously\, a playful act of resistance\, a meditation on the good and bad of this world\, and ultimately a remarkable statement on the continuing growth of Artificial Go. \nhttps://artificialgo.bandcamp.com/ \nNO PEELING was formed in 2025 as a studio project by five friends in the fertile Nottingham DIY underground. September 2025’s self-titled EP was the perfect introduction to the No Peeling universe. Bandcamp Daily picked it as an Essential Release\, calling it “a clanging collection of get-in-get-out egg punk that doesn’t ask for more than 10 minutes of your time and overdelivers on every front”. It managed to cram a lifetime of idea-nuggets into seven songs that rarely exceeded the minute mark. A blast of enthusiasm and hyperactivity\, the EP was the audio equivalent of a barrage firework: exhilarating and energising. Whilst the first EP was completed before the band had played live; the forthcoming EP2 hits a little differently. \nEP2 has the garage punk clatter and sparkly efficiency of their debut but is somehow faster and weirder. The guitar and synth seem to be engaged in a constant (playful) fight\, tumbling further and further away from the song structure being held together (and propelled) by one of the tightest rhythm sections around. The scrawl and skronk might occasionally recall No Wave but those grooves are locked down. This all provides the perfect foundation for the wry\, dry observations of Sophie Diver. From pasta post and fluff-clad delinquents to clingfilm catastrophes and poor working conditions\, all modern life’s bases are covered and emerge miraculously from a magic-eye explosion of clangs\, thwacks and bloops. \nhttps://nopeeling.bandcamp.com/album/no-peeling

SUMMARY:The Angry Brigade - London Theatre
DESCRIPTION:THE ANGRY BRIGADE\nBy James Graham\nDirected by Oli Hurst\nProduced by HER & UP ‘ERE Productions \nSet in 1970s Britain during a time of Tory cuts\, high unemployment\, and growing inequality\, this play focuses on the hunt for the anarchist group known as “The Angry Brigade” by a special police squad. \nThe narrative contrasts the differing perspectives of the establishment and the young urban guerrillas\, exploring themes of political engagement\, rebellion\, and the human cost of striving for a radical vision of a fairer world. \nIt has been 50 years since The Angry Brigade was active—has anything really changed in that time? The cost of pursuing a radical vision for a fairer world.\nIt’s been 50 years since The Angry Brigade were active – has anything really changed in that time?

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Dan Jennings with Paul Weller Dancing Through the Fire
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate and expansive evening with award‑winning broadcaster and journalist Dan Jennings\, as he discusses DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE: The Authorised Oral History of Paul Weller\, the first fully authorised and definitive oral account of one of Britain’s most influential and enduring musical figures. \nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, ICMP’s curated series celebrating transformative writers\, artists and cultural voices who shape how we understand music\, identity and creative expression. Each session opens a window into the stories behind the art — blending conversation\, cultural history and lived experience. \nHosting the evening will be acclaimed author Daniel Rachel and joining as a guest will be Go! Discs founder Andy Macdonald. \nIn DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE\, Jennings traces the extraordinary creative life of Paul Weller\, from the explosive urgency of The Jam\, through the ambitious sophistication of The Style Council\, to a prolific and uncompromising solo career spanning more than three decades. Built from over 200 hours of interviews with more than 250 contributors\, including Weller himself; the book offers an unprecedented\, collective portrait of a musician whose influence has defined generations. \nDrawing on unique access to Weller’s inner circle of family\, friends\, bandmates\, producers and collaborators\, Jennings reveals the drive\, discipline and restless creativity behind a career that continually resisted nostalgia and commercial complacency. The result is candid\, generous and richly revealing — capturing not just the myth\, but the man at the centre of one of British music’s most remarkable artistic journeys. \nFar more than a standard biography\, DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE explores the realities of longevity\, reinvention and creative survival. It reflects on class\, culture\, fandom and the personal cost of sustaining artistic integrity in the public eye\, while charting how Weller became one of the very few artists to achieve Number One albums across five consecutive decades. \nPaul Weller’s story — creative\, uncompromising and continually evolving\, speaks to anyone who cares about music as a cultural force. It asks what it takes to remain vital\, curious and true to yourself when the world expects you to stand still. \nAlready hailed by critics as a landmark work of music journalism\, DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE is being recognised as the definitive account of one of Britain’s greatest artists. \nTickets available here and currently on a limited 2-4-1 offer – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-long-play-sessions-dan-jennings-paul-weller-dancing-through-the-fire-tickets-1987599404323?aff=oddtdtcreator \nWhat to Expect\n\nA talk from Dan Jennings exploring the making of DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE\, the interview process\, and the challenge of capturing a living legend through many voices\nIn‑depth discussion of creativity\, longevity\, reinvention and artistic integrity across five decades of British music\nBehind‑the‑scenes insight into Jennings’ unprecedented access to Paul Weller and his closest collaborators\nReflections on class\, fandom\, cultural legacy and why Weller’s music continues to resonate across generations\nAudience Q&A\, offering the chance to engage directly with Jennings about his research\, the writing process and Paul Weller’s cultural impact\nBook signing — bring your copy or purchase one on the night\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a thoughtful\, energising and unforgettable evening celebrating one of modern music’s most vital and uncompromising creative figures. \n\n\n\nLocation\nThe Venue\, ICMP (Queens Park Campus)\, NW6 6PA

SUMMARY:Shahak Shapira - Selective Identity - LONDON
DESCRIPTION:Shahak Shapira is an Israeli-German comedian with Arab roots performing stand-up in English. It’s a mess. \nWith origins stretching from Baghdad to Vienna\, Shahak is a walking container for some of the planet’s most problematic identities\, navigating a world that seems very invested in deciding who he is. \n \nSounds like a downer\, but even life’s most depressing stories can make for great comedy if you end them with a punchline. In Selective Identity\, Shahak searches for those punchlines in roots\, heartbreak\, war\, racism\, depression\, never fitting in\, the search for a home\, and many other light-hearted topics – with a success rate of about 80%. \n \nContent note: This show touches on mental health and includes references to suicidal thoughts. \n \nCAN’T AFFORD A TICKET?E-Mail me at tickets@shahak.net and we’ll figure it out. I know what it’s like to be broke and want my shows to be accessible to anyone. \n\n? WHO AM I?Hey\, I’m Shahak Shapira\, an Israeli comedian in Germany\, which is\, already\, just wrong on so many levels. My comedy show on German TV got canceled so fast\, most people didn’t even know I had one. I recorded a stand up special for Comedy Central\, which would have been awesome\, but it was Comedy Central Germany\, so yeah\, not great. My TED-Talk about how to go viral has about 30\,000 views which is as sad as it is ironic. And as if all of that is not tragic enough – I’m also a DJ. \n↩️ REFUND POLICYUsually\, tickets for shows and concerts are non-refundable\, but I’m cool\, so you can get a full refund up to 14 days before the show. Please understand that I can’t offer any refund after that\, it takes a bit of financial security to be able to do these shows.

SUMMARY:Curating at Home: Making Personal Spaces of Creative Agency with Dr Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a four-session online course exploring how we live with art\, and how the art we live with shapes the way we live. \nCurating at Home: Making Personal Spaces of Creative Agency invites you to look closely at the rooms\, objects\, and artworks that surround you. Drawing on art practices\, histories\, philosophy\, exhibition-making\, and practices of everyday attention\, we will explore how meaning is shaped through arrangement\, context\, and the lived rhythms of domestic space. \nAcross four fortnightly sessions\, we will consider how art lives with us\, and how our gestures and choices quietly curate the places we inhabit. Each session includes case studies\, creative exercises\, and guided activities designed to help you think with and through your own environment. \nLed by artist\, educator\, and curator Dr Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson and hosted by IMT Gallery\, the course offers a reflective and practical space for artists\, collectors\, curators\, students\, and anyone interested in how art shapes everyday life. \nPlaces are limited — the course begins on 12 April. \nEarly Bird rates are available until January 9 at 11:59 p.m. GMT. \nReady to rethink the spaces you live in? Follow the link below for full details and to enrol.

SUMMARY:Blood of My Blood - Photography Exhibition by Magda Kuca
DESCRIPTION:Magda Kuca presents a body of work highlighting the shared histories of photography and medicine at the Old Operating Theatre. \nBlood of My Blood is a multi-faceted project that investigates the link between personal narratives and scientific advancement through a photographic lens. Kuca’s solo exhibition blends in with the surroundings at the former site of both herbal apothecary and early surgical procedures. \nAt the core of the project lies the artist’s response to her mother’s cancer journey. Applying a camera-less form of experimental photography to capture their embracing bodies\, Kuca expresses shared vulnerability while echoing the effects of chemotherapy with the marks and traces left on the resulting image. \nFor a series of wet collodion portraits captured on glass\, and limbs on surgery-grade steel\, Kuca allows the unvarnished surfaces to decompose and tarnish\, repairing deliberate fractures with silver. Still lifes of plague doctor masks provide a link to the healing herbs grown in the museum’s attic. \nThe contemporary works are displayed in cabinets alongside the museum’s main collection. Reminiscent of vintage medical journals\, they evoke a sense of nostalgia while highlighting subsequent progress in overcoming physical injury and infectious disease. \nThe surgeries at the Old Operating Theatre were performed on women without anaesthetics or antiseptics\, in front of a live audience of predominantly male medical students. Magda Kuca’s work serves as a reminder of the personal stories behind medical innovation. \npublic open times:\nThursday – Sunday\, 10.30am – 5pm\n(exhibition entry included in museum general admission)

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Scott Rowley with Stay Alive: The Life and Death of Stuart Adamson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a powerful and deeply human evening with author and music journalist Scott Rowley as he discusses STAY ALIVE: The Life and Death of Stuart Adamson — the first fully co‑operative and definitive account of the life\, legacy and tragic death of one of Scotland’s most influential and enigmatic musicians. \nThis event is part of The Long Play Sessions\, ICMP’s curated series spotlighting transformative writers\, artists and cultural voices who shape the way we understand music\, identity and creative expression. Each session opens a window into the stories behind the art — blending conversation\, cultural history and lived experience. \nIn STAY ALIVE\, Rowley traces the remarkable rise and haunting decline of Stuart Adamson\, founder of both The Skids and Big Country. Drawing on unprecedented access to Adamson’s family\, bandmates\, private writings and never‑before‑seen material\, Rowley paints a vivid portrait of a man whose talent\, turmoil and working‑class pride helped define a generation of post‑punk and alternative rock. \nFrom the chaotic energy of late‑70s Scotland\, to global fame with Big Country\, to the battles with addiction\, trauma and depression that shadowed his later years\, Rowley’s narrative is unflinching\, tender\, and profoundly revealing. Far more than a music biography\, STAY ALIVE explores the weight of expectation\, the wounds we carry from childhood\, and the quiet struggles that fame can magnify rather than soothe. \nAdamson’s story — tragic\, inspiring and heartbreakingly human — resonates far beyond his era. It asks what it means to be an artist\, a father\, a survivor… and what happens when the world sees only the legend\, not the man. \nWith praise from critics and musicians alike\, this long‑overdue book is already being hailed as a definitive work on one of Scotland’s most compelling creative figures. \nTickets available here and currently on a limited 2-4-1 offer – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-long-play-sessions-scott-rowley-with-tony-butler-stay-alive-tickets-1987598655082?aff=oddtdtcreator \nPurchase the book here:\nhttps://bit.ly/stayalivescottrowley \nWhat to Expect\n\nA talk from Scott Rowley exploring the making of STAY ALIVE\, the revelations uncovered\, and the emotional weight of telling Adamson’s story\nIn‑depth discussion of creativity\, trauma\, addiction\, fame\, and the pressures placed on artists in the post‑punk and alternative rock scenes\nBehind‑the‑scenes insight into Rowley’s research\, interviews and unprecedented access to Adamson’s family and archives\nReflections on legacy\, working‑class identity and how one man’s music resonated across generations\nAudience Q&A\, offering the chance to engage directly with Rowley about Adamson’s life\, the writing process and the cultural impact of The Skids and Big Country\nBook signing — bring your copy or purchase one at the event\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a moving\, honest and unforgettable evening centred on one of Scotland’s most important — and most misunderstood — musical icons. \n\n\n\nLocation\nThe Venue\, ICMP (Queens Park Campus)\, NW6 6PA

SUMMARY:The Museum of Connection - Workshop with Georgia Clemson and Lina Ivanova
DESCRIPTION:Embrace the power of collaborative creation in the second in a series of transformative workshops led by artist duo Georgia Clemson and Lina Ivanova\, hosted by IMT Gallery. In The Museum of Connection\, you are invited to explore the generative possibilities of collectivity through a series of guided creative exercises and to imagine working together as a new way to survive on our damaged planet. \nIn the last decade\, our experience of closeness has radically shifted. Digital interactions\, though abundant\, have left many of us reliant on screens for connection. Georgia and Lina began The Museum of Connection in response to this change\, inspired by Donna Haraway’s term Sympoiesis\, meaning making-with\, a reminder that all creation and survival depend on collaboration. \nThe duo will transform IMT Gallery into a space of encounter\, a shared and fertile ground where real-life connection and creativity can take root. Each workshop in the series will be themed for a collective act: food\, play\, touch\, and movement. For this workshop\, Lina and Georgia invite you to use your whole body to create an image with a difference\, exploring the theme of movement. \nIn this workshop\, we will gather in the gallery to create one-of-a-kind artworks\, both collectively and individually. The event will begin with a specially themed meditation\, written by the artists\, and unfold into writing and drawing games. The primary technique in this event will focus on cyanotypes\, a form of experimental camera-less photography. This technique reduces the image to its fundamental components – light\, shadow and form. The process is unpredictable by nature\, resulting in artworks that record our intentional and incidental marks\, the traces of presence\, sharing\, and interaction. Each image created is ephemeral but can be ‘fixed’ as a lasting memory of the moment. The workshop will culminate in the collaborative creation of a large-scale cyanotype. \nAs a participant\, you will have the opportunity to contribute what you make to the Museum’s growing archive\, as a living monument to community\, built within two fleeting hours\, yet resonant with the lasting memory of connection. \nEach workshop in this series is different\, so if you have joined us before\, you are welcome to join us again. No experience is necessary. Please bring your preferred drawing materials and paper\, additional supplies will also be provided. \nMeet the artists: \nGeorgia\, Clemson\, and Lina Ivanova are London-based artists with fifteen years of combined experience in creative facilitation. They first exhibited together in A Cohesion of Light at Peckham 24 (2021)\, and created The Museum of Connection in 2024. Both artists have a background in experimental photography and make work challenging the conventions of the medium. \nGeorgia’s work has been featured in Source Photographic Review\, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue Italia. Recent exhibitions include The vessel that contains me at Creative Health Camden and Retreat: the UK’s first climate refugees at Middlesex University as part of Barnet Climate Action Month. Lina is a co-founder of Revolv Collective and a recipient of the Turner Contemporary Portfolio Prize. Her work has been exhibited by RPS\, the South Bermondsey Art Trail\, and the Goethe Institut in Bulgaria. Her most recent commission is Business is driven by quarterly results\, a public art installation in Croydon\, funded by Turf Projects.  \nAre you ready to discover the power of collective creativity? Reserve your place and join this radically original happening at IMT Gallery.

SUMMARY:Tomi Balogh – A Reason To Listen
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome back London-based pianist\, composer\, and producer\, Tomi Balogh\, to the Liszt Institute London for a special pre-release concert of his newest album\, A Reason To Listen. \nA Reason To Listen is his most personal work to date. Inspired by his son Samuel\, who was diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome shortly after birth\, the album is a meditation on unconditional love\, on finding joy in unexpected places\, and on learning to let go of expectations. It is a story that extends far beyond one family — a reminder that every person deserves to be loved exactly as they are. \nJoining Tomi for this special evening are featured collaborators from the album: Rick Leon James the multi-instrumentalist\, bass player and producer\, Zsofi Bartal flautist\, Selina Albright\, vocalist and Daniel Deej John on drums. Together\, they bring the album to life in an intimate live setting before its release to the world. \nAlongside the music\, Tomi is partnering with charities that support families raising children with additional needs – and this concert is part of that wider conversation. \nAdmission is free. Registration via Eventbrite is required.

SUMMARY:BATAstories
DESCRIPTION:BATAstories is a sweeping documentary driven by the voices of ‘Batamen‘ worldwide\, stories from Baťa-built towns\, and reflections from Baťa’s descendants. It traces the extraordinary rise of Czech entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa – the visionary cobbler’s son who transformed a small-town workshop into a global industrial shoe empire. \nDirected by the master documentarist Peter Kerekes\, the film weaves together three strands: Baťa’s memoir (narrated by Bolek Polívka)\, a reflection on the birth of modern global capitalism\, and a mosaic of personal stories. \nSpanning Europe\, South America\, Africa\, and Asia\, BATAstories moves between past and present\, blending archival and contemporary footage. From the industrial city of Zlín to purpose-built communities across the world\, it reveals a bold social experiment where factories became towns and employees became stakeholders. \nAt once intimate and expansive\, BATAstories is a vivid exploration of ambition\, ideology\, and the human stories behind a global empire. \nDir. Peter Kerekes\, France\, Czech Republic\, Slovakia\, 2018\, 78 min\, English subtitles / With Bolek Polívka and Zuzana Stivínová

SUMMARY:The Space Within
DESCRIPTION:The Space Within brings together women artists from London and across the South East who incorporate glass in their practice while approaching the material from a multitude of angles. \n  \nThe exhibition title alludes to the versatility and lasting allure of glass\, with objects ranging from vessels for domestic use to those holding memories\, from figurative interpretations inspired by nature to abstract forms playing with texture\, fragility and light. \n  \nAll thirteen artists work with cast glass\, individual techniques ranging from melting and moulding to fusing and carving – their collaborative display a contemporary introduction to an ancient art form.
