SUMMARY:SET Social DIY Community Garden - Sunday Gardening Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Ever wanted to grow your own food\, or just spend a quiet Sunday surrounded by green things and good people?The DIY Community Garden at SET Social is a shared space for planting\, learning\, and spending time together outdoors. Whether you’re watering seedlings\, pulling weeds\, sharing snacks\, or simply sitting in the sunshine\, there’s always something gentle and satisfying happening in the garden. \n\n\n\nThe garden is looked after collectively by SET Social members\, local neighbours\, and anyone curious enough to get their hands a little dirty.

No gardening experience is needed and there’s no expectation to stay the whole time. Bring yourself\, a mug for tea\, and if you like\, a plant or cutting to share. \n\n\n\nWant to get involved?\n\n\n\nDrop by during one of our gardening sessions every Sunday 2-4pm. No booking or experience required. \n\n\n\nYou can also join the SET Garden WhatsApp group to hear about upcoming sessions\, plant swaps\, and ways to help out. \n\n\n\nFollow along on Instagram at @set_social_community_garden for more updates and glimpses of what’s growing.

Sommet\, and Mudgang Pottery CIC. \n\n\n\nFrancisco currently studies Sculpture at the Royal College of Art\, where he was awarded the RCA President and Vice-Chancellor Scholarship\, following his BA at Goldsmiths University (2016). \n\n\n\nHis love for making has taken him to residencies at Sanbao Ceramics Institute in Jingdezhen\, and Casapiena in Sicily. His work has been shown nationally and internationally. \n\n\n\nFrancisco was a recipient of a Grand Plan Fund project grant in 2024. \n\n\n\nWebsite: www.franciscozhan.com \n\n\n\nInstagram account: @francisco.zhan  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout SET Ceramics\n\n\n\nSET Ceramics is a new community ceramics studio in a former Key Cutters and Cobblers.

SUMMARY:FMas Open Session and Gig with FChoir 
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to F* tradition and soak up those cosy winter vibes the F*Choir way. Join us on 13 December at SET Social Peckham for an afternoon and evening of collective vocal power. \n\n\n\nOpen session\n\n\n\nThe afternoon offers an opportunity to connect\, reflect\, and play together through embodied vocal and physical practice. \n\n\n\nArtistic Director Jenny Moore and Assistant Choir Leader Bianca Stephens will guide participants through vocal and somatic warm-ups\, followed by a song from FChoir’s repertoire. Participants joining the FMas gig later that evening will be invited onstage to perform the song learned in the session with the choir. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Attendance at the Open Session is not required to join the FMas gig. Tickets must be purchased for both events to participate in the performance. \n\n\n\nF*MAS Gig\n\n\n\nFresh from their autumn tour with Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland\, F*Choir invites audiences to an intimate\, relaxed gig\, featuring beloved classics alongside fresh new pieces. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate and time: Saturday 13 December\, 4-9pmTicketing / registration: From £6 \n\n\n\nBook tickets\n\n\n\nArtist / organiser details: \n\n\n\nF*Choir is a 70-strong\, queer-led ensemble that radically reimagines what choral singing can be. Bold\, joyful\, and physically engaging\, the choir celebrates collective liberation and embodied resistance. Founded by composer and multidisciplinary artist\, Jenny Moore\, co-run with Bianca Stephens and Sophie Chapman \, F*Choir rejects traditional music methods\, drawing instead on the work of historically underrepresented women\, trans\, non-binary\, and queer artists. At its core\, F*Choir is about claiming the right to our own voices as people who have been historically marginalised and excluded. \n\n\n\nHaving captivated audiences across the UK and beyond\, F*Choir has performed sold-out shows at venues including Milton Court (programmed by the Barbican)\, EartH Hackney\, Bishopsgate Institute\, Wellcome Collection\, and the MOTH Club.Additional information:Questions?

SUMMARY:A Coral Reef - Exhibition at SET Lewisham
DESCRIPTION:SET is delighted to present A Coral Reef\, a new exhibition\, opening at SET Lewisham on 4 December\, 6-9pm.Bringing together new drawings\, paintings\, and sculptural works by artists and SET Associate Members Aidan Quinn and Hallam Wood\, the exhibition explores fragility\, connection\, and the unstable systems that bind living things together.Quinn (@maggot.kingdom) makes drawings and sculptures that reflect on the strangeness of living in a collapsing\, disorienting world. His works begin with fragments—archival images\, scraps of text\, or simple patterns—which are redrawn\, layered\, and tiled until their origins blur and new connections emerge. \n\n\n\nWood (@hallamtwood) works between painting\, drawing\, and occasional sculpture\, guided by the belief that all matter is connected. From this open-ended premise\, he aims to realign the pedestrian elements of life. His recent paintings use looping lines to form links between objects and organisms. \n\n\n\nExhibition details\n\n\n\nPrivate view: Thursday 4 December\, 6–9pmExhibition dates: 5-7 December\, 12–5pmAdditional viewings: 8-19 DecemberVenue: SET Lewisham\, Lewisham Retail Park\, SE13 7RZAdmission: Free entry\, by appointment

DESCRIPTION:Night 4 of the 2025 SET Film Festival features Alain Kassanda’s multi-award-winning documentary\, Coconut Head Generation\, screening at SET Social on Thursday\, 27 November.At the University of Ibadan\, Nigeria’s oldest university\, students gather for their weekly ‘Thursday Film Series’\, where works by directors from Med Hondo to John Akomfrah spark lively conversations on feminism\, LGBTQ+ rights\, colonialism\, housing issues and corruption. \n\n\n\nReclaiming the once-mocking term “coconut head generation”\, a phrase used by older generations to deride young Nigerians as apathetic and disengaged\, Alain Kassanda’s film follows these students as they turn the insult into an affirmation of their freedom of thought and expression. \n\n\n\nThe film moves from life on campus to the frontline resistance of the #EndSARS protests\, the youth-led nationwide movement against police brutality\, becoming an urgent portrait of a generation fighting for justice and meaningful social change. \n\n\n\nVividly immersing us in campus life\, both as a site of intellectual liberation and spirited debate\, and as a place marked by daily challenges such as frequent blackouts and overcrowded conditions\, the film offers a resonant portrait of a generation of determined young Nigerians. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday 27 November 2025Doors: 6.45pm | Screening: 7.45pm prompt Tickets: £5 (concession) / £7 (general)Note: Open to all. SET Social membership is not required\, though members enjoy concession rates. \n\n\n\nGet tickets\n\n\n\nFollow: @set.filmfestival for programme updates.Poster design by @ashleykinnardstudio.

SUMMARY:SET Film Festival 2025 | Night 3: Reticence
DESCRIPTION:Introducing Night 3 of the SET Film Festival 2025: ‘Reticence’\, taking place at SET Social\, Peckham on Thursday 20 November.  \n\n\n\nThe programme presents seven films that employ strategies of reticence\, probing the limits of the moving image. By shifting attention away from the visual\, the films call on other senses to explore what can be felt rather than seen. Reticence becomes a counter-grammar through which to examine the politics of image-making\, as artists evoke the sonic\, haptic\, and residual to open the screen into a space of speculation where fantasy and reality collide.  \n\n\n\nThrough flicker\, textile\, archival glitches\, and the slippery dreams of sleep-talking\, the films embrace the quiet resilience of latent images. By inviting the viewer to project their own visions in the absence of those immediately offered by the filmmakers\, their approach is one of dismantling the world in order to reassemble it otherwise.  \n\n\n\nNight 3 films include: \n\n\n\n\nThe Land Where Ghosts Could Speak (2024) – Tianhui Wu\n\n\n\nSo often returning to the same place (2025) – Maria Howard\n\n\n\nLes mains qui travaillent (2024) – Eva van Tongeren\n\n\n\nThe Departing Images (2023) – Ana Edwards\n\n\n\nSinkhole (2024) – Kate Liston\n\n\n\nRage Against the Archive (2024) – Anshul Roy\n\n\n\nBlouse and Skirt (2024) – Brandon Saunders\n\n\n\n\nFull programme details can be found on Eventive. \n\n\n\nView Night  3 programme\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday 20 November 2025Doors: 7.15pm | Screening: 7.45pm prompt with a 15-min interval\, followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers\, hosted by Agnès Houghton-Boyle and Rebecka Öhrström Kann.Tickets: £7 (concession) / £9 (general)\, inclusive of a printed programmeNote: Open to all.

SUMMARY:The Tiny Oscars - Inclusive One Week Film Challenge and Community Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Tiny Oscars is an inclusive\, free-to-enter independent film night that invites filmmakers from around the world to create a short film in just one week. The event brings the community together to share joy\, watch films on the big screen\, celebrate with awards\, and end the night with a dance. \n\n\n\nThe initiative aims to encourage making for the sake of making. Many aspiring creators have personal projects they dream of completing\, but without real incentive\, those ideas often fall into the “idea graveyard.” The Tiny Oscars provides that incentive – a clear deadline and a supportive creative community.The ‘One Week Movie Challenge’ began with co-founder James Papper\, who struggled with overthinking and unfinished projects. In late 2024\, he discovered that setting a short deadline and holding himself accountable helped him break through a lifelong creative block. Inspired by that breakthrough\, The Tiny Oscars now shares this process with a wider audience\, empowering filmmakers to overcome perfectionism and rediscover the joy of creativity. \n\n\n\nWhether an experienced director or a complete beginner\, participants in The Tiny Oscars have the opportunity to see their films on the big screen\, connect with fellow creators\, and celebrate the act of making. For every filmmaker\, it all starts with a deadline. \n\n\n\nWhat is the brief?\n\n\n\nThe Tiny Oscars will be posting the brief over on Instagram (@thetinyoscars) on 3 November. You then have a week to make your film.  \n\n\n\nSubmission deadline is 10 November. Details on how to submit can be found on Instagram too. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Saturday 15 NovemberTimes: Doors open at 7pm | Films start at 8pmTickets: Free. You can reserve a seat via Resident Advisor below. \n\n\n\nGet a ticket\n\n\n\nContact information: Feel free to get in touch at thetinyoscars@gmail.com with any questions.
