SUMMARY:Life Drawing is in Fashion with Peckham Life Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Peckham Life Drawing invites participants to explore creative approaches to life drawing that go beyond traditional techniques. Each session centres the model not only as a subject to be drawn\, but as a collaborator\, bringing their own experience as artists and performers into the space. \n\n\n\nRather than focusing solely on still poses\, each session experiments with process and structure. Past sessions have explored drawing imagined fashion alongside the model\, working with mirrored poses to think about embodiment\, and celebrating bodies in their varied forms. The focus is on curiosity\, responsiveness\, and drawing as a shared\, creative act. \n\n\n\nMaterials are provided and sessions are open to all abilities. Drawing tips are available for anyone who wants them\, and participants are always welcome to bring their own materials. Please note that sessions often include nudity\, and are therefore open to participants aged 18+ only. \n\n\n\nThere will be a short break during the session\, with drinks available at the bar. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Wednesday 28 JanuaryTime: 7-9pm (with a break)Tickets: £12 (plus booking fee)\, available via Eventbrite \n\n\n\nBook tickets\n\n\n\nAbout the organiser: \n\n\n\nThese sessions are hosted by Peckham Life Drawing\, a project that curates inclusive life drawing events designed to bring people together through creative collaboration. \n\n\n\nThe sessions are facilitated by Peckham-based artist Lucie Russell (MA RCA)\, whose practice explores collective making and experimental approaches to drawing. \n\n\n\nFollow along on Instagram at @peckham.LifeDrawing

SUMMARY:Communal Clay Sconce Workshop

SUMMARY:The World Shakes Out Her Sheets - SET 91 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The World Shakes Out Her Sheets is SET 91’s fifth and penultimate exhibition within its six-month curated programme. Curated by Isobel Harper\, the exhibition brings works by Nicola Organ\, Rhian Harris-Mussi\, Kes Wilkie\, and Freddie Wise\, presented in dialogue with a commissioned text by artist and writer Sophie Wright. \n\n\n\nBringing together practices that reflect on landscape\, environment and speculative forms of world-building\, the exhibition explores how image\, text and material intersect. Seen through panes of engraved glass etched with fragments of Wright’s text in Harper’s distinctive letterform\, the works shift with light and shadow\, inviting viewers to move between looking and reading. \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition\n\n\n\nThe World Shakes Out Her Sheets brings together works by four artists whose practices are united by processes of uncanny world-building. Across the exhibition\, there is a shared sense of play with space\, perspective and scale\, unsettling familiar worlds and translating them into disquieting visual languages. Human systems\, structures and machinery appear alongside strange natural phenomena\, suggesting environments that hover somewhere between science fiction and the otherworldly.  \n\n\n\nAt the centre of the exhibition is Wright’s commissioned text\, written in response to a conversation that reflected on the shared sensibility running through the four practices. Rather than offering explanation\, Wright’s text functions as a kind of poetic distillation\, drawing out the common threads of estrangement\, curiosity\, and speculative possibility. Etched into the glass that frames each work\, the text becomes a material presence that subtly reconfigures perception through light and shadow.  \n\n\n\nText\, glass and image form a layered encounter in which meaning is continually deferred and reshaped. The exhibition proposes the engraved glass as a conscious lens – one that mediates the relationship between viewer and artwork\, while inviting an attentive navigation of these strange and mystical worlds. In doing so\, The World Shakes Out Her Sheets proposes a way of looking that is open to uncertainty\, and to the possibility that these works may be addressed not only to human viewers\, but to something beyond us.  \n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\nPublic opening event: Friday 16 January\, 6-9pm Dates: 17 January – 1 February Gallery hours: Thursday – Sunday\, 1-6pm Location: 91 Tabernacle Street\, Old Street\, London\, EC2A 4JNAdmission: Free \n\n\n\nPoster design: Callum Bridge (@ellery3000)

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

SUMMARY:SET Film Festival 2025 | Night 4: Coconut Head Generation
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.
