Our fantastic Wine Masterclass monthly event has been missing from the calendar recently. Charlie, host extraordinaire has been busy getting Charlie’s Drinks Store in Stoke Newington ready to open - which is opening next week! We are going to run a masterclass early December, either with Charlie or more likely with an interim wine expert, just looking for one that is knowledgable, yet able to also have fun šŸ˜‰ 

Ok, on with the show.

Unveiled Exhibition

Unveiled: Stories Behind the Silence - Red Room 7 - 27 NOVEMBER

AN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF HEALING, STRENGTH AND HOPE

At the heart of the exhibition lies a collection of bold works, each carrying deeply personal stories, lived experiences, fragments of memory, and voices given form. Featuring artists from the UK, USA, Europe, and Africa, the exhibition brings together international perspectives into one powerful story of resilience. The artworks form a unified narrative: the journey of healing of survivors of domestic violence. The exhibition draws on the psychological understanding of the personality, broken into pieces by difficult experiences. As visitors walk through the exhibition, they follow a survivor’s diary and trace the journey of piecing together fragmented parts of the self, culminating in their reintegration as a whole, witnessing how what was once broken can be reimagined, restored, and healed.

The project supports Solace, a London-based charity that helps over 30,000 women and children each year in building lives free from abusе. 

Opening Night Thursday 6th November 6:30 PM -- Experience a magical live harp performance, explore powerful artworks on healing, and hear guest speakers share their insights..
