⭐We’re approaching the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street.

On the fourth of October 1936, the British Union of Fascists attempted a march through East London, only to be met with a community coalition which successfully halted their parade of hate.

On the 28th of September, at We’re Here to Stay we will be meeting to discuss and honour this history, making banners for the upcoming anniversary. Join us to connect and create whilst we celebrate the triumphs of anti-fascist coalitions of the past and engage with a history of struggle that is, sadly, still relevant today.

🪧Applications are open for Artivism Part II ✂️!

Are you interested in building creative skills for the movement? Learning how to strategically use your creativity? Or how art can create real change?

Artivism pt. II is a free, 10‑week creative‑organising programme launching this September in Bethnal Green.

👥Designed for young people aged 18–25 who want to use creative practice for collective liberation.

🗓️Launching September, Thursdays 5:30 – 7:30pm.

📍In Bethnal Green.

Artivism consists of weekly workshops, biweekly mentoring, tailored reading lists and a fully funded and supported public-facing campaign to put the skills built over the programme into action.

Our movements must deploy creativity with precision, skill, and expertise. We don’t just need artivism conceptually. We need Artivism that works. SKAPED’s Artivism programme is designed to equip you with that skillset and the theory to back it all up.

🔗Link in bio to apply. Spaces limited. Application deadline: July 26th, 11:59 PM 🔗
