SUMMARY:That Which Grows in the Swamp is Swallowed by the Stomach
DESCRIPTION:Screenshot\n\n\n\nPublic opening event: Thursday 20 August\, 6-9pmExhibition dates: 21 August – 6 SeptemberOpening hours: Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 12-6pm Location: SET Vauxhall (16th Floor)\, Camelford House\, 89 Albert Embankment\, London\, SE1 7TPArtists: Andie Aylsworth\, Isis Powers Bird\, Keyannah Isaacs\, Holly Lou Jones\, Rinsanga Leivang\, Dani SmithAdmission: Free \n\n\n\nThat Which Grows in the Swamp is Swallowed by the Stomach is an ongoing exhibition project initiated and coordinated by Andie Aylsworth and Keyannah Isaacs\, which aims to invite new collaborators each year who share an interest in posthumanism\, ecology\, and material-led practice. The first iteration of the exhibition series was presented as part of Central Saint Martins’ 2023 degree show\, and the second was held at Hypha Studios in 2024. The upcoming exhibition will take place in SET Vauxhall’s project space on the 16th Floor as part of the SET Associate Members’ Programme\, with Dani Smith joining the curatorial team to develop the exhibition alongside the project’s founders. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition draws on posthuman thought through material\, bodily\, and ecological thinking\, considering the tension between organic and inorganic matter\, as well as human and nonhuman agency. It resists fixed hierarchies and binaries\, instead foregrounding entanglement\, instability\, and transformation. \n\n\n\nThis iteration places particular emphasis on materiality as a means of exploring these ideas. Through sensorial encounters and processes of material transformation\, the exhibition considers how materials themselves shape perception\, atmosphere\, and our relationships to bodies\, landscapes\, and ecological systems. \n\n\n\nRather than positioning landscape as a passive backdrop to human experience\, the exhibition considers landscape and body as mutually constitutive: porous\, shifting\, and continually shaping one another. Organic forms\, found materials\, and processes of transformation foreground the permeability between self and environment\, inviting audiences to consider how bodies are embedded within wider ecological systems. In doing so\, the exhibition offers temporary moments of displacement from everyday modes of perception\, encouraging visitors to inhabit spaces of ritual\, contemplation\, and imaginative possibility. \n\n\n\nWhile these ideas provide a conceptual framework for the exhibition\, they are intended as points of departure rather than fixed themes. We are interested in how each participating artist approaches these ideas through their own material language and practice\, and we welcome diverse interpretations that expand\, challenge\, or complicate the exhibition’s ongoing conversation. \n\n\n\nContributing artists\n\n\n\nDani Smith\nDani Smith is a visual artist working across painting\, drawing\, video and installation. Her practice explores material transformation\, symbolism and intimacy\, constructing dreamlike worlds that blur familiar and imagined realities.Instagram: @_danismth \n\n\n\n\nAndie Aylsworth\nAndie Aylsworth (b. 2000) is a London-based textile artist whose practice explores kinship with the more-than-human world through the lens of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)\, learned via her indigenous heritage.Instagram: @andie.aylsworthWebsite: https://andieaylsworth.com/ \n\n\n\n\nHolly Lou Jones\nHolly Lou Jones is a multidisciplinary artist exploring bodily tension through sculpture\, installation\, photography\, and jewellery. Her practice examines queerness\, femininity\, disability\, resilience\, and the grotesque beauty of embodied experience.Instagram: @hollylou.jonesWebsite: https://www.hollyloujones.com/ \n\n\n\n\nKeyannah Isaacs\nKeyannah Isaacs is a London-based artist whose practice explores ideas of transformation and decay through material hybridity. Disrupting the boundaries between organic and inorganic\, stability and collapse\, they seek to uncover potentials of ambiguity and liminality. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @keeiiksWebsite: https://www.keyannahisaacs.com/ \n\n\n\n\nIsis Powers-Bird\nIsis Powers-Bird is a multi-disciplinary artist working across sculpture\, text\, drawing\, moving image and sound. Her work is made as a response to the growing estrangement between the human body and the natural world. Instagram: @isispowersbird \n\n\n\n\nRinsanga Leivang\nRinsanga Leivang is a multi-disciplinary installation artist exploring themes of memory\, scarcity\, and obscurity within the lens of digital accumulation and intangible spaces.Instagram: @angaleivWebsite: https://www.angaleiv.com/ \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 or participate 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. \n\n\n\nPoster Image courtesy of Isis Powers Bird

SUMMARY:"On the Nose"

Their projects emerge via site-responsive processes\, exploring found and discarded things. \n\n\n\n\nErif Brooks Price\nI want to use my body as a tool to communicate the somatic to an audience.

SUMMARY:Green Lions Community Archive Launch
DESCRIPTION:SET Social’s library corner begins its next chapter! Following a successful residency by Oisín Roberts and his community library\, the space now hosts a year-long project with the Green Lions Community Archive. We invite you to join us on Thursday 30 July to celebrate the official opening of their new home. \n\n\n\nThe Green Lions Community Archive is a space dedicated to preserving the history and cultural production of grassroots organising and social movements. With a focus on decolonial climate justice and solidarity\, within and beyond London\, the collection aims to represent East and South East Asian (ESEA) communities\, their diasporic homelands\, and allied groups fighting against imperialism and climate colonialism. \n\n\n\nThis launch event is a open invitation to explore this new physical space as well as the connections between climate justice\, decolonisation\, racial justice and anti-militarism. It’s a night to convene\, explore the stacks\, and help shape a resource built by the community\, for the community. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect on the night: \n\n\n\n\nParticipate in community archiving and mapping interventions.\n\n\n\nChat with the collective about ideas for the space and how to get involved.\n\n\n\nSome light snacks will be provided\, and the SET Social bar will be open for drinks all evening.\n\n\n\n\nWant to contribute to the archive?\n\n\n\nBuilt on an ethics of open access and collaborative activation\, this archive is grown by you. If you’d like to bring something along to donate to the collection (either on the launch night or during future opening hours)\, Green Lions are looking for materials that represent social movements and grassroots organising. This could include: \n\n\n\n\nPrinted zines\, pamphlets\, and writing\n\n\n\nPhotographs and protest ephemera\n\n\n\nField recordings\, songs\, and films\n\n\n\n\nBefore donating\, please read the full collections policy here. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday 30 JulyTime: 7-9.30pmLocation: SET Social\, 55a Nigel Road\, Peckham\, SE15 4NPAdmission: Free\, though tickets required.  \n\n\n\nBook a ticket\n\n\n\nArchive opening hours\n\n\n\n\nSaturdays: 2-6pm\n\n\n\nSundays (ad hoc): 2-6pm\n\n\n\n\nAbout the organisers:\n\n\n\nGreen Lions is a London-based\, grassroots collective which aims to bring East and South East Asian (ESEA) diaspora communities into the decolonial climate justice movement through creativity\, political education\, community engagement\, and collaboration.  \n\n\n\nTheir work includes political education teach-ins\, creative programming\, community gardening\, outreach\, and digital projects to encourage ESEA engagement with climate justice and build solidarities through a creative and decolonial lens. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @esea.green.lions Poster design: @mikatohmon

SUMMARY:Holding Company
DESCRIPTION:Dates: 31 July – 23 AugustPublic opening event: Thursday 30 July\, 6-9pm Gallery hours: Thursday – Friday\, 1-7pmAdmission: FreeSET 91 presents Holding Company\, the second exhibition of our second six-month curated programme. Bringing together new or unseen works and performances by H M Baker\, José García Oliva\, Luke Gould\, Markéta Slaná\, Maya King-Dabbs\, Samra Mayanja\, and Tawfik Naas\, the show probes the holding company as a fundamentally intangible corporate structure. \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition\n\n\n\nHolding Company is a group exhibition spanning object-based and event-based practices. Beginning from the place of neoliberal financial capitalism\, the exhibition considers the affordances of ‘passive’ or ‘umbrella’ legal entities in the arts. While holding companies—corporate structures set up purely to hold assets and shield liability rather than produce goods—are everywhere in the contemporary art world\, this show looks to the structure itself as a productive conceptual anchor. \n\n\n\nEmbracing rather than resisting the cultural rise of ‘corpcore’\, the exhibition approaches this specific form of company on its own terms. If the gallery model is a kind of traditional company structure\, perhaps the future of the gallery is holding companies all the way down: uber-streamlined\, with staff and physical space abstracted out of the equation\, and risk neatly packaged.Alongside the exhibition\, ‘Holding Company’ features a public programme of three scheduled meetings\, collectively titled ‘Out of Office (OOO)’\, with talks between Aram Masharqa\, Tawfik Naas\, José García Oliva\, and Samra Mayanja. \n\n\n\nLearn more\n\n\n\nAdditional viewings on the weekend are available by appointment. For more information and to book an appointment\, please contact: aram@masharqa.com \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:Paratha Club - Cactus Pears
DESCRIPTION:Paratha Club is a cozy gathering centred around fresh homemade parathas\, independent cinema\, warm chai\, and sweet treats. \n\n\n\nPicture this: you roll into Peckham in the early evening\, the air warm with sweet incense and the soft glow of diyas flickering along the bar. You’re offered fresh\, homemade parathas\, served with butter\, yogurt\, and a selection of Indian pickles. While tucking in\, you catch up with friends and settle in as the food fills you with comfort. Once plates are cleared\, a steaming cup of masala chai and a sweet treat follow as everyone gathers to watch a film—the perfect end to a soul-nourishing meal. \n\n\n\nThis week’s menu\n\n\n\nParatha stuffing: MooliAll food served is 100% plant-based. \n\n\n\nAllergen information: \n\n\n\n\nParatha: gluten\, soy\n\n\n\nSweet treat: soy\, tree nuts\, sesame\, gluten\n\n\n\nMasala chai: oat milk\n\n\n\n\nThis week’s film: Cactus Pears (2025)\n\n\n\nThis quiet and beautiful debut feature from Indian filmmaker Rohan Kanawade follows Anand\, a Mumbai call centre worker who returns to his ancestral village in rural Maharashtra to partake in the traditional mourning period after a death in the family. While he navigates family expectations and pressure to marry\, he reconnects with Balya\, a childhood friend\, and the two slowly rediscover a tender\, deeply felt connection. The film delicately explores grief\, love\, and the quiet courage it takes to live authentically within a deeply traditional and small community. It’s beautifully acted\, gracefully directed\, and a landmark for Marathi cinema. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday 28 July Time: 7-11pmLocation: SET Social\, 55a Nigel Road\, Peckham\, SE15 4NPAdmission:

SUMMARY:'Italy from Seed to Plate': A Talk with Paolo Arrigo
DESCRIPTION:How much of a country’s history is preserved not in its monuments\, but in its soil? \n\n\n\nThis afternoon session explores the distinct microclimates\, dialects\, and culinary traditions that define Italy’s 20 regions. Led by leading gardening expert and renowned seedsman\, Paolo Arrigo\, the 45-minute talk takes the audience “around Italy in 20 vegetables\,” focusing on local\, ethical\, and endangered heirloom varieties celebrated for their exceptional provenance and forgotten flavours. \n\n\n\nAlongside this regional journey\, Paolo will share practical advice on exactly what to sow right now to secure a successful autumn and winter harvest. The session concludes with a Q&A. \n\n\n\nPaolo is a nine-time Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) medal winner\, the Slow Food (UK) ‘Person of the Year 2019′\, and the founder of Seeds of Italy. His company imports Franchi Seeds\, the oldest family-run seed brand on the planet. Remaining in the same family for seven generations\, Franchi was established in 1783 – the same year Mozart composed his first mass\, the Montgolfier brothers launched their hot air balloon over Paris\, and the HMS Bounty was still sitting in the dockyards. \n\n\n\nThis session will be held within SET Social’s Community Garden. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Sunday 26 JulyTime: 2:30-3.30pmLocation: SET Social Community Garden\, 55a Nigel Road\, Peckham\, SE15 4NPAdmission: Free\, no booking required.
