SUMMARY:Flash Folk Choir: Queering the Tradition (Pride Special)
DESCRIPTION:One rehearsal. One performance. One night. \n\n\n\nFlash Folk Choir is a pop-up singing collective for all voices. It’s not a formal choir\, you don’t need to read music\, there are zero auditions or solos\, and you don’t singing experience. The concept is simple: get familiar with 5 songs in advance\, meet up for a one-hour run-through\, and perform them together that same evening on the main stage. \n\n\n\nAs part of our Pride Edition Community Day & Market\, this Queering the Tradition special revisits old songs of land\, labour\, love\, and resistance from the British Isles and beyond\, celebrating queer stories\, queer voices\, and radical reworkings of folk heritage. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re a folk lover\, a folk sceptic\, a shower singer\, or just looking to do something different on a Sunday afternoon\, you are welcome here. \n\n\n\nHow it works\n\n\n\nBefore the night: Listen to the songs and get familiar with the lyrics in advance. We won’t have time to teach them from scratch—only to polish them together! (Spotify playlists\, YouTube links\, and lyric sheets will be emailed to all ticket holders soon). \n\n\n\nOn the night: We’ll meet in the Red Bar at 2.45pm to run through the tracks\, talk briefly about their history\, and then head to the Hall stage for a live group performance. \n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n2:45pm: Arrive for registration3pm – 4pm: Choir Rehearsal (Red Bar)5pm: Live Performance (Hall Stage) \n\n\n\nWant to check out the rest of the day? Head over to our full Pride Community Day & Market schedule for details on the market stalls\, food\, Kids Rave\, and evening performances. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Sunday 2 AugustTime: 2:45-5.30pmLocation: SET Social\, 55a Nigel Road\, Peckham\, SE15 4NPAdmission: Pay What You Can with optional Solidarity ticket \n\n\n\nSign up

SUMMARY:Green Lions Community Archive Launch

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.

SUMMARY:SET Stage Gallery – Off The Record
DESCRIPTION:Off the Record is an upcoming immersive installation at SET Stage Gallery\, unveiling the vital contributions of the unsung heroes of London’s underground rap scene. Behind every viral video\, sold-out event\, and career-defining moment\, there is a dedicated photographer who captured the scene\, a journalist who narrated the story\, and an event producer who orchestrated the show. For one weekend only\, the London artists working “off the record” take centre stage to celebrate their efforts in documenting and building the underground rap scene. \n\n\n\nCurated by the multi-talented Mobolaji Babalola (@toomanyfishb)\, this gathering brings together photographers\, videographers\, A&Rs\, event producers\, set designers\, lighting designers\, journalists\, and visual artists.  \n\n\n\nMobolaji is a set designer (@bfixedit_) and event producer. Having built sets for prominent rappers like Ceebo and Saiming\, whilst also working as an art director and event producer for @prettytwistedlive\, she has fast become a major force behind the scenes. Earlier this year\, she held her debut solo exhibition\, showcasing her work within the underground rap scene and the wider creative landscape. Now\, she is turning the spotlight back onto her own community. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nPublic opening event: Friday 24 July\, 7-10pmExhibition run: Saturday 25 – Sunday 26 July\, 2-8pmLocation: SET Social\, 55a Nigel Road\, Peckham\, SE15 4NPAdmission: Limited free RSVP\, then £5 donations \n\n\n\nBook tickets\n\n\n\nContributing artists\n\n\n\nAbbie SuiBydanourCnnct3rDjxhnwavElisaha SmallsKendrafilmzKhadsarkMachedpotatoNatNazfromNewhamNiall SmithPtrckjsrRino SisonSachaUKUndergroundRapSplit60SheldonTia \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.
