Join us for a fun and interactive writing workshop to help you find your words and unleash your creativity!
Find Your Words Writing Workshop
Calling thinkers, writers, creators, readers and self-explorers.
Finding the space to put pen to paper is hard. The process requires time, intention, discipline and focus. We want to cultivate an environment that makes writing accessible, allowing anyone with ‘itchy fingers’ to connect with themselves and their ability to write.
In our writing workshop, we'll delve into the art of self-exploration through the written word. Just as understanding oneself involves engaging with thoughts, feelings, and experiences, writing tasks provide a platform for this introspective journey. Each time we face a blank page, we're prompted to be present, to connect events, and to engage with stimuli. We form opinions, unleashing our words to express our innermost thoughts and emotions. Join us as we explore the power of writing to navigate the depths of self-discovery.

NINJA OF THE MAGNIFICENCE: THE ART OF THE 1980s NINJA FILM & EXHIBITION (7th April - 2nd June)
----------
Our next exhibition of over 200 videotape sleeves from around the world exploring the incredible (and the not so credible) art from the Ninja craze of the 1980s. The exhibition will provide an informative overview of the 80s Ninja sub-genre whilst also highlighting themes, traits and the often spurious tactics employed by the art/designs used to enshrine what would be some of the silliest films ever committed to videotape.
Exhibition will run from 7th April - 2nd June
To coincide with the exhibition, and as part of the New Cross and Deptford Free Film Festival, we will be hosting a Ninja mystery screening to include a Q&A with the curator.

Mark McGowan is a British street artist, performance artist, film maker and public protester who has gone by the artist name Chunky Mark and more recently The Artist Taxi Driver. By profession, McGowan is a London taxi driver and occasional University speaker and arts tutor. McGowan is known internationally for his performance art including shock art, street art and installation art, and as a stuntman, internet personality, video blogger, social commentator, social critic, satirist, political activist, peace activist, and an anti-establishment, anti-war, anti-capitalist anti-monarchist and anti-power elite protester. Under the artist name "Chunky Mark", McGowan entered the mainstream news in the early 2000s for his unconventional, satirical, sometimes comedic and/or ironic, and often absurd approach to public protest and demonstration. Chunky Mark conducted hundreds of performances in the UK and dozens around the world, stirring up some international attention, further debate on what "art really is", controversy; and both support and mockery alike from intellectuals, the art world, private corporations, the police, the military, the tabloids and the public. Often McGowan has not applied for police permission beforehand.
