Together, we raised over £3,000 towards our fundraising campaign to secure Cubitt’s future in a new home and continue our decades of studio provision, cultural and community work.

Special thanks to our caller and Cubitt Director of Programmes, Seán Elder, and to the brilliant DJs CCR , Caprice Sühñ and Papi C**o.

And a big thank you to mo dafa 💭 and the whole Cafe OTO team for their generous support.

This summer we’ve been hosting a monthly art jam at Mildmay’s Extra Care Centre. Each month, we take a multisensory journey through texture, and July was all about the Foamy & Bubbly!

We started by handling (and tasting!) foamed materials, taking time to consider the emotions, volumes, energies and words they conjure. We then brought out the shaving foam to create marbled, tactile creations.

Next up, we’ll be exploring the Ridgy & Groovy!...

For over a decade, the Cubitt team and collaborating artists have developed lasting relationships with Mildmay residents and staff through ongoing creative workshops and celebratory events across shared living spaces, greens and community centres.

The workshops are led by artist Becky Lyon elastic_fiction This project is generously supported by Islington Giving Islington Giving

Thank you to Plaster and Annabel Downes for including CUBITT in your roundup of London’s best artist-run spaces!

Cubitt exists because of the work of generations of artists, curators, cultural workers and local communities. As we prepare to leave our home in Angel after more than 25 years, we are fundraising to secure a future in a new home and continue our decades of studio provision, and cultural and community work.

Donate to our Cubitt Futures fundraiser and secure the future of artist run spaces in central london. Link in bio.

Today we hosted 'Words are Walls' the first event in our Collective Publishing Practices series, hosted by CUBITT Distribution Centre, which includes our community press and radio station.
✏️✒️
Together we learned and played translation games and then made collective translations in Spanish, French, Mandarin, Cantonese and Farsi, of an excerpt from Anne Tallentire's 'Object of a Life'. Many of the materials used were drawn from our current exhibition 'The Hospitable Threshold: 25 years of Angel Mews' which includes Anne's work.

This series continues next weekend with a collective writing workshop by common/play\grounds — free tickets are available on our website 🎟️🎟️🎟️

NEXT WEEK : CUBITT FUNDRAISER AT CAFE OTO
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃🎵🪕💃🏼

Cubitt takes over Cafe OTO for a night of live cèilidh music, dancing, poetry, DJs and a fundraising raffle, helping the artist-run organisation secure a new permanent home.

A cèilidh is a social evening and cultural celebration common in Gaelic cultures, built around live music, group dancing and a caller guiding everyone through the steps. You do not need to know the dances in advance, and kilts are warmly encouraged but entirely optional.

At the centre of the night is a one-off cèilidh band assembled by friends and members of Shovel Dance Collective, with Cubitt Director of Programmes Seán Elder as fear an taighe, or master of ceremonies, and caller for the dancers. Cubitt artists, staff, friends and supporters will also contribute poetry readings and prizes for the fundraising raffle.

On the decks, raregr00ve is the DJ and broadcasting project of Andi Amirshah, founder of Cubitt Community Radio, a grassroots platform for local voices, independent music, live sets and discussion. Caprice Sühñ joins with nostalgic house, Bollywood and UK Desi sounds, q***r club music, disco and 1990s and 2000s pop.

Founded by artists in 1991, Cubitt is one of London’s oldest artist-run cooperatives. For thirty-five years it has provided affordable studios, a non-profit gallery and an education programme, while supporting artists and curators at formative stages in their careers. Its work also reaches beyond the building through long-running projects with young people, schools, older residents and communities across Islington.

After twenty-five years at Angel Mews, Cubitt is now working to secure a new home from which this work can continue. The cèilidh is both a celebration of what Cubitt has built and a practical way to help carry it into its next chapter.

Tickets are available through DICE at several levels. Those able to contribute more are warmly encouraged to choose a supporter or pay-it-forward ticket, helping fund Cubitt’s move while keeping lower-cost tickets available to others!

🎟️ Tickets start from £8 via DICE and cafeoto.co.uk
