‘tea.cake.space. : a salon for artists – to talk, share and create work
Join us for a glass of wine, a cup of tea and a chat at a new salon taking place at The Proud Archivist. Be inspired by artists and makers who have been “inspired by London” – the wonderful city we live in.

This month our guests are:

Ivo Gormley: Producer “The Runners”: The Runners is an award-winning short film made by Matan Rochlitz and Ivo Gormley. We will screen the film and then chat with Ivo about why they made it and why it was shot in London.

Julian Mash and Travis Elborough: Julian Mash, author of Portobello Road, and Travis Elborough, author and cultural commentator for more than a decade, will talk about their work and how they have been inspired by London throughout their creative journeys.’

‘During September 2014, DIG Collective are hosting a series of residencies, performances and events responding to and sited in an 8sq metre cubic hole dug into the large garden of the Old Rectory in Hackney Central, a property slated for imminent demolition and redevelopment.’

On 21 September, writer, Presenter, Producer and Film Curator at Whitechapel Gallery Gareth Evans curates a series of readings from an array of prestigious local and internationally renowned writers, narrating from the hole, inspired by the site.’
