SUMMARY:SET Stage Gallery – Softer/Harder
DESCRIPTION:Social’s SET Stage Gallery presents Softer Harder\, a performance night and exhibition examining female sexuality and desire. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition considers how women are reclaiming their bodies and sexualities in a digital-first world. Inspired by millennial and Gen Z adolescence shaped by nights on Omegle\, reading erotica on Wattpad\, and reposting lewd gifs on Tumblr\, it offers an intimate and often humorous exploration of digital culture and sex. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nPublic opening night and performance: Friday 17 April\, 6-10pmExhibition run: Friday 17 April – Sunday 19 April\, 2-8pmLocation: SET Stage Gallery\, 55a Nigel Road\, Peckham\, SE15 4NPTickets: \n\n\n\n\nEarly Bird – £6.13 \n\n\n\nGeneral – £8.30\n\n\n\n\nBook tickets\n\n\n\nExhibiting visual artists\n\n\n\nAarony Bailey\nAarony Bailey is a filmmaker and photographer based in South London. Through an honest and intimate lens\, Bailey uses the camera to capture semi-autobiographical narratives surrounding femininity and sexuality\, looking at the complexities of womanhood and the female body. Her honest and nostalgic explorations of intimacy\, both platonic and romantic\, invite the viewer to indulge in their own voyeurism\, unpacking the nuances of shame and desire.  \n\n\n\nShe materialises her work through the use of analogue film\, specifically super 8\, 16mm\, and 35mm\, as well as using various other vintage methods of image capture and production\, such as polaroid photography and risograph printing. \n\n\n\n\nLily Bunney\nLily Bunney is a London-based artist whose work explores the intersection of vulnerability and digital consumption. Bunney’s process and aesthetic is key to reading her work. Inspired by the interwoven history of the computer and the jacquard loom\, her pointillist drawings play with the analogue and the digital; offering work which looks hyper-digital on the screen\, and tactile in person.  \n\n\n\nHer practice investigates how we construct and witness our own stories in an age of overwhelming narrative abundance\, particularly examining the ways we use social media and popular culture. \n\n\n\n\nCharlie Henzi\nBorn in 2001\, Seattle\, USA\, Charlie Henzi grew up in the UK just outside of London. In 2023\, she graduated from Central Saint Martins\, UAL. She recently received her Masters in Contemporary Art Practise (2024) at the Royal College of Art. She is fascinated by images of women in popular culture\, the gaze\, the performed female\, consumption and consumerism. After studying visual codes and language for years\, she now creates works that draw directly from this and her personal experiences\, that comment on the current zeitgeist. \n\n\n\n\nPerformance artists\, readers\, and poets\n\n\n\nFopé Ajanaku\, Tara Baukovic\, Chloe Borthwick\, Daisy Norris\, Sabirin Osobole\, Maricel Reinhard \n\n\n\nAbout SET Stage Gallery\n\n\n\nLaunched in 2023\, SET Stage Gallery is a volunteer-led\, non-profit contemporary art space based at SET Social. The gallery prioritises artists with limited access to exhibition opportunities and supports a programme of monthly workshops\, talks\, screenings\, reading groups\, and exhibitions. All proceeds go directly to participating artists\, supporting accessibility and sustainability within the space.Curator: Ayiesha Sankoh (@thereturnofshe) \n\n\n\nContact\n\n\n\nFor questions\, please email setstagegallery@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Club Bananas: Spirals Collage Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Club Bananas returns to SET Social this April with a new collage theme: Spirals.  \n\n\n\nFollowing the past few months of workshops centred around nature-inspired themes such as Spring\, Blossom and Freshness\, this session takes a slightly different direction. Spirals are a recurring focus in Banana Holdwin’s current artwork. Found across cultures for thousands of years\, they appear in early Maltese\, Siberian\, Polynesian\, Chinese and African artworks\, and are often understood as cosmic\, protective or mystical forms. \n\n\n\nLed by local artist Banana Holdwin\, Club Bananas is an inclusive art club centred on craft-making\, collage and mixed media experimentation. The sessions centre creativity without pressure\, encouraging participants to explore freely\, embrace messiness and enjoy the process rather than focus on perfection. It is a space to connect with others\, experiment creatively and let your inner child play. \n\n\n\nEach month introduces a new theme while keeping mixed media at the heart of the practice. Participants are always welcome to follow their own ideas alongside the theme. \n\n\n\nSession focus\n\n\n\nThis session explores spiral-inspired collage using scrap paper\, magazines and found materials. Spirals are often linked to cycles\, movement and transformation\, from the motion of the sun and moon to ideas of growth and spiritual development. In some traditions\, such as Buddhism and Hinduism\, spiral forms appear in symbols like the Unalome\, representing a path towards awareness or enlightenment. \n\n\n\nApproach the theme literally by cutting and layering spiral shapes\, or take a more abstract route by exploring ideas such as cycles\, energy\, nature or transformation within your collage. \n\n\n\nAll materials are provided\, including collage supplies and scrap materials\, but you are warmly encouraged to bring magazines\, coloured paper\, postcards\, stickers or any additional materials you would like to use. \n\n\n\nSessions now take place in the Red Bar at SET Social and run on a pay what you can basis. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Sunday 19 AprilTimes: 3-5pmLocation: SET Social\, Red Bar\, 55a Nigel Road\, Peckham SE15 4NPTickets: Pay what you can \n\n\n\nBook tickets\n\n\n\nAbout Club Bananas: Club Bananas is an art club led by local artist Banana Holdwin\, focusing on collage and mixed media making through recycled and found materials. The sessions prioritise experimentation\, accessibility and community\, offering a playful environment for people of all ages and abilities to make work together.

SUMMARY:‘Nothing On Tonight’ with Peckham Life Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Ever wanted to explore life drawing beyond the traditional “look and draw” approach? \n\n\n\nPeckham Life Drawing offers an experience beyond just observational drawing\, inviting you to engage with life drawing as a contemporary and experimental creative practice. Whether you are drawing for the pure joy of it or developing a professional folio\, these sessions are built on “serious play” and a commitment to diversifying how we represent the human form. \n\n\n\nLed by artist Luce Russell (MA RCA)\, the workshop is an inclusive\, supportive environment where everybody (!) is more than welcome. Working with fantastic guest models\, the session moves from poses so fast you won’t have time to think to longer\, sustained poses that allow space for your own unique creativity. During the mid-session break\, you can grab a drink and socialise\, and perhaps even get into the weeds of life drawing’s role in modern art – if the mood strikes.  \n\n\n\nDrawing boards and paper are provided. No previous experience is necessary. Just bring your lovely self! \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Wednesday 29 AprilTime: 7-9pm Ages: 18+ Ticketing: Available via Eventbrite \n\n\n\nBook a ticket\n\n\n\nAbout the organiser:  \n\n\n\nLuce Russell (MA RCA) is a Peckham-based artist who has been “queering” the notion of traditional life drawing since 2017. By approaching the practice as both a noun and a verb\, these sessions aim to diversify how we approach representation as a community. It is a space for “serious play\,” acts of embodiment\, and a genuine dialogue between paper and skin.  \n\n\n\nNeed help?

SUMMARY:SET 91 Open Series – London Lace Club Communal Lace Making Session
DESCRIPTION:London Lace Club joins the Open Series at SET 91 for a session built on the 15th century tradition of communal lacemaking. This two hour gathering invites both experienced lacemakers and total novices to come together to make lace\, share skills\, and work on projects in a relaxed and supportive environment.Founded by Amelia White and Lauren Watson in 2023\, the club is a community led response to bobbin lace appearing on the Endangered Crafts red list. The craft has always relied on the social exchange of skills\, and the club uses this legacy of collective making as its foundation. By bringing people together to learn and share\, these gatherings ensure the craft remains a living\, accessible practice rather than a lost one. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Amelia and Lauren hope to pass down the tools\, knowledge\, and confidence needed for people to explore lacemaking in their own way. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\n\nDate: Sunday 10 May\n\n\n\nSession time: 12-2pm\n\n\n\nLocation: SET 91\, 91 Tabernacle Street\, Old Street\, London\, EC2A 4JN\n\n\n\n\nWhat to bring: Please bring your own equipment\, including a lace making pillow\, and current projects if you have them.

SUMMARY:Rule of Thumb - SET Lewisham Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Rule of Thumb investigates the systems of discipline and authority that shape the human body. Bringing together four artists working across painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, the exhibition examines how power is naturalised through physical presence. \n\n\n\nPresented at SET Lewisham as part of the Associate Members Programme\, the exhibition is co-curated by the participating artists. \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition\n\n\n\nThe exhibition takes its title from the idiom “rule of thumb”\, a phrase denoting approximate measurement famously\, if controversially\, linked to a legal loophole for domestic violence. Rule of Thumb uses this etymology as a point of departure to explore how power is mapped onto the body within both domestic and institutional spheres. \n\n\n\nThroughout the space\, symbols of power are rendered as bodily objects: bodybuilders flex alongside legal iconography and heraldry; armour-like structures offer a tense balance of protection and restraint; and garments hang like evidence\, relics or unresolved testimonies. \n\n\n\nBy deconstructing these forms\, Rule of Thumb draws attention to the hidden codes of conduct that dictate movement and behaviour. The works invite us to consider how the body carries the weight of these systems\, and how the traces of authority remain visible even in the aftermath of an event. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nPublic opening event: Friday 15 May\, 6-9pmWeekend opening hours: Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 May\, 12-5pmWeekday viewings: Thursday 14\, Friday 15\, and Monday 18 May (By appointment only)Appointments: To book a weekday viewing\, please contact phoebe.ea.randall@gmail.comLocation: SET Lewisham\, Unit 1\, Lewisham Retail Park\, SE13 7RZAdmission: Free \n\n\n\nContributing artists\n\n\n\nEmilia Auersperg\nEmilia Auersperg works with readymade fragments gathered through chance encounters in urban environments. Her work explores objecthood as a way of thinking through consumer culture\, bodily discipline\, and the shifting boundaries between human and nonhuman agency. Through processes of deconstruction andassemblage\, discarded objects are transformed from passive commodities into charged sites\, exposing social\, symbolic\, and political afterlives embedded within material culture. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @emiliaauersperg \n\n\n\n\nJiyoung Pyo\nInformed by collective memory\, personal experience\, and found imagery\, Jiyoung Pyo’s practice engages with cultural forms\, power dynamics\, and moral ambiguity through an expanded multimedia approach centred around painting. Her work explores psychological states and the ways individual experience intersects with broader social and historical narratives. At its core\, the practice investigates vulnerability and power\, the seen and unseen\, and the unstable boundaries between them\, creating layered and emotionally charged spaces where viewers may feel exposed and implicated. \n\n\n\n\nPhoebe Randall\nPhoebe Randall translates photographs of performance and human spectacle into oil paintings on canvas. Recent works examine demonstrations of masculinity\, heroism and violence staged under the guise of sportsmanship. Working selectively from her source material\, she remains only partially faithful to the original image. In doing so\, she unsettles the choreography of conflict and the performative mechanics of violence embedded in Western painting traditions. She is particularly interested in the theatrics of rivalry\, from arena sports to the social ‘arenas’ where our identity and power relations are at stake. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @phoebe.randall \n\n\n\n\nFlorence Sweeney\nFlorence Sweeney is a London-based artist whose practice spans sculpture\, photography\, moving image and textiles. Her work interrogates the intersection of personal history and societal injustices surrounding the representation of women\, delving into themes of memory\, loss\, and familial injury while searching for meaning within the complexities of contemporary life. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @florencesweeney \n\n\n\n\nAbout SET’s Associate Members Programme\n\n\n\nThis exhibition is presented as part of SET’s Associate Members Programme\, which offers artists studio space alongside access to project spaces and opportunities to independently curate exhibitions\, workshops\, and events. \n\n\n\nThe programme supports a wide range of practices\, from performance and installation to music\, sound\, print\, and textiles\, and is designed to provide space\, visibility\, and development opportunities for early-career and underrepresented artists working in London.Poster design: Phoebe Randall

SUMMARY:Comrades (1986): A Screening by Circle Dance
DESCRIPTION:Come along to SET Social on 16 May for a rare screening of Bill Douglas’ 1986 film Comrades (1986)\, a cinematic telling of the history of the Tolpuddle Martyrs. The Martyrs were a group of agricultural workers from Dorset who’s efforts in 1834 to form a ‘friendly society’ – widely recognised as an early form of trade union – earned them deportation arrest and deportation to Australia.Moving\, wild\, righteous\, rhapsodic and psychedelic\, Comrades blends English weirdness\, folk horror\, socialist history and an insistence on the uplifting power of collectivity with an ensemble cast includes Robin Soans\, Keith Allen\, Vanessa Redgrave and James Fox\, with a great score to boot. \n\n\n\nThis film is rarely screened\, so this is a great opportunity to witness a fantastic piece of cinema celebrating an even prouder history. Please note: the film has a three-hour runtime so we highly recommend a substantial lunch (and perhaps a strong coffee) beforehand. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Saturday 16 MayTime: 3pm (Doors open early)Location: SET Social\, 55a Nigel Road\, Peckham\, SE15 4NPTickets: £10.

SUMMARY:Heat Seeking
DESCRIPTION:SET 91 presents Heat Seeking\, the inaugural exhibition of our second six-month curated programme. Bringing together new works by Millie Earthy\, Joe Garcia\, and Francisco Zhan\, the show explores printing techniques as processes of transformation\, reproduction\, and desire. \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition\n\n\n\nHeat Seeking is a group exhibition exploring printing techniques as processes of slippery reproduction and desire. Using a variety of methods including 3D printing\, paper clay\, decals and UV printing\, the exhibition brings together works shaped by slow\, almost devotional processes requiring precision\, alongside playful and often humorous exchanges between image and material. \n\n\n\nFundamentally\, it is a show about desire\, attending to its different forms: commodification and branding\, transubstantiation in Chinese joss paper traditions\, the politics of excess\, texture\, and the buffoonery of rebranding and repurposing industrial materials with personal imagery. \n\n\n\nThe pairings inhabit their own kind of poetry as images are forged with light\, heat and exposure onto unexpected surfaces\, producing fragile\, mutable containers. Heat Seeking understands printing as a process shaped as much by risk as control\, where material and image meet in unstable and often surprising ways. \n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\nDates: 29 May-12 July Public opening event: Thursday 28 May\, 6-9pm Gallery hours: Thursday-Sunday\, 1-6pm Admission: Free \n\n\n\nLearn more\n\n\n\nAbout SET 91\n\n\n\nSET 91 is SET’s first in-house curated contemporary arts gallery\, located in Old Street. Dedicated to supporting early-career contemporary artists\, the gallery provides a non-profit platform for experimentation\, collaboration\, and the presentation of new work beyond commercial pressures. \n\n\n\nLearn more

SUMMARY:Circles on the Floor
DESCRIPTION:SET is pleased to present Circles on the Floor\, a new group exhibition opening Friday 29 May at SET Vauxhall.Bringing together four artists working across interdisciplinary practices\, including installation\, performance\, and video\, the exhibition is informed by years of inquiry into the contemporary art phenomenon of placing virtually anything in a circle on the floor. \n\n\n\nCentral to the installation is a custom-built bar\, with drinks served by The Pegram Collection. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nOpening: Friday 29 May\, 5-9pmDates: 29-31 MayOpening hours: 12-5pmLocation: SET Vauxhall\, Camelford House\, 89 Albert Embankment\, London\, SE1 7TPAdmission: Free \n\n\n\nContributing artists\n\n\n\nCecilia Sargent\nCecilia Sargent explores notions of aspiration\, desire and failure within her interdisciplinary practice. Often with a performative D.I.Y materiality – her work aims to visualise the tragicomic emotions of trying but never quite getting it right. \n\n\n\n@ccsargent \n\n\n\n\nLucas D’Praser Corp\nLucas D’Praser Corp restages images and objects to create speculative memory. He sets relics in a material tension to interrogate the politics of backwardness\, and its aesthetic potential. \n\n\n\n@whocas_ \n\n\n\n\nPolly Plowden\nPolly Plowden explores the rehearsal of reality within everyday life\, examining how chaos\, repetition\, and mediation shape meaning through quieter\, overlooked narratives embedded in domestic spaces. \n\n\n\n@pollyplowden \n\n\n\n\nAlex Heard\nAlex Heard makes performance\, video and installation which often explore frictions of bitterness\, refusal\, or absurdity.

Rejecting polished interfaces and digital convenience\, the artists embrace hands-on experimentation\, chance encounters\, and the limitations of their materials as creative drivers. \n\n\n\nSurfaces vibrate\, circuits respond to natural phenomena\, and kinetic gestures become instruments. Here\, sound and visuals are treated as something discovered—unearthed through play\, failure\, and attentive handling\, listening and looking. Together\, the works propose alternative ways of making and listening\, where ingenuity replaces excess\, and the familiar is reimagined as strange\, expressive\, and alive.  \n\n\n\nExpect to find DIY instrument and light installations alongside artist demonstrations and invitations to interact and play.  \n\n\n\nExhibition details\n\n\n\nOpening: Thursday 11 June\, 6-9pm (features performances by artists) Dates: 11-28 JuneOpening hours: Saturdays (13\, 20\, 27 June)\, 1-5pm\, and by appointment.

SUMMARY:A Great Big Net
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition dates: 11-28 June 2026Location: Project Space 3\, Ground floor\, SET Vauxhall\, Camelford House\, 89 Albert Embankment\, London\, SE1 7TP Opening hours: Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 12-5pm\, and by appointment. To book\, please contact daisynutting@hotmail.co.ukPublic opening event: Thursday 11 June\, 6-9pmArtists: Massimo Franco\, Ned Elliott\, Daisy Nutting\, Agnes Treherne\, Tara Versey\, Kate Walton\, Ben Williams\, Olly WilliamsonAdmission: Free \n\n\n\nOpening Thursday 11 June at SET Vauxhall\, A Great Big Net brings together eight artists working across drawing\, printmaking\, and painting\, curated by Daisy Nutting. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition takes the motif of the net as a dual structure: one that can simultaneously isolate us from our world and link us to it.  \n\n\n\nHere\, the net serves as a cipher for systems of power\, borders\, and geometric fences\, as well as the networks we use to navigate them. Using the net as a compositional structure that forms both the skeleton and exoskeleton of the works on display\, A Great Big Net considers the precise moment when the freedom of the grid hardens into a trap. \n\n\n\nContributing artists\n\n\n\nMassimo Franco\nMassimo Franco currently lives and works in London. Recently he’s made a return to printmaking\, specifically a return to the book format. Notably this work displays an interest in part to purely abstract imagery. Massimo completed his training painting at Glasgow School of Art\, drawing at Royal Drawing School and printmaking at Camberwell College of Art. \n\n\n\n\nNed Elliot\nNed Elliott is an artist from London. His subject is nature\, and his focus moves from the small to the cosmic. His gaze is drawn to those things which are simultaneously frail and beautiful; a moth\, a feather\, a flower. He depicts how different elements of existence\, sentient\, insentient\, intersect and coexist in the world\, creating pictures which grow out of the confusing and elusive beauty of life. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @ned_elli0tt \n\n\n\n\nDaisy Nutting\nDaisy Nutting is an artist exploring memory\, storytelling and perceptions of ownership. Documenting moments of balance and imbalance within nature\, Daisy’s etchings\, drawings and paintings are made from a desire to connect with her surroundings and an attempt to take ownership of land that is not hers\, suggesting that the memory of a place is a kind of possession to rival capitalist notions of accumulation and proprietorship. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @daisynutting \n\n\n\n\nAgnes Treherne\nAgnes Treherne lives and works in East Sussex. Drawing from life underpins her painting and printmaking – her drawings are a response to the transcendent nature of the world. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @agnestreherne \n\n\n\n\nTara Versey\nTara Versey works across painting\, printmaking and drawing\, exploring the emotional and physical experience of being alive. Combining observation\, memory and imagination\, she creates works that seek balance between the human form\, architecture and the natural world. Raised in London\, her interest in geometry\, anatomy and shifting identities informs compositions that reflect the complexity and fragmentation of human experience. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @tarajversey \n\n\n\n\nKate Walton\nKate Walton lives and works in Glasgow. Working across painting\, drawing\, and printmaking\, she records people\, objects\, and landscapes through observation. These notations form a visualmemory\, used to construct images where figures and environments are compressed within pictorial space. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @kateswalton \n\n\n\n\nBen Williams\nBen Williams lives in Glasgow making paintings from arranged objects and figures which he comes up with either from drawings or by other means. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @williams_b_a \n\n\n\n\nOlly Williamson\nOlly Williamson currently lives and works in London\, and grew up in a village outside of Preston. He makes work about quiet situations of life; utilising intense observation and experimental structures of composition. His images reflect the underlying rhythms of the people and world he sees around him – hoping to make the everyday feel monumental. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @omw_painting \n\n\n\n\nAbout SET’s Associate Members Programme\n\n\n\nThis exhibition is presented as part of SET’s Associate Members Programme\, which offers artists studio space alongside access to project spaces and opportunities to independently curate exhibitions\, workshops\, and events. \n\n\n\nThe programme supports a wide range of practices\, from performance and installation to music\, sound\, print\, and textiles\, and is designed to provide space\, visibility\, and development opportunities for early-career and underrepresented artists working in London.
