I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time👏👏 lots of planning for this night

Spoon&Co’s first “sip n’ paint”🧑‍🎨🍷

With help from , a new friend to the shop that has the same goal that I set out to do with spoon, which is to build a safe and social community: an inviting community for new comers to the city🙏🙏 and also the man himself a spoon regular for a long time now, but most importantly a maddd artist that I truly believe KNOWS what art should be to humans.

Sip n’ paint is going to be a night that we supply basic art supplies (paper, range of pens, pencil, oi pastel etc), drinks, conversation cards from that are a great way to get to know people, but most importantly we are giving a warm comfortable space for anyone to come by and spark conversations and do some silly lil drawing.

Feel more then welcome to bring ANY art supplies you’d like🙏 I can supply palettes for paint and water for ur brushes🙏🙏

Sip n’ paint WILL BE pay what u can to join and then option to tip if you’d like based on your experience at the end😘

All skill levels welcome, especially new comers👏👏👏

November 12th, 7:30pm at Spoon&Co

Happy to see that everyone I’ve mentioned this night to has loved the idea and a wee (Wii) crowd is forming for this night.

For our first “Wii night in” the game will be “Wii sports: specifically tennis”. We’ll have a huge projector with the current players on and a chance for rotational commentators (that part will end up a mistake I know)🧙‍♂️

“A Wii night in” will be a night to join a tournament for only a fiver, for the chance to win prizes and just get some dopamine in ya body. Pay at counter for your spot so first come first serve🙏 No need to pay if you would just like to come by to watch and talk!

Prizes🎉
1st= 2 free items of food, 3 free drinks
2nd= 1 free item of food, 2 free coffees
3rd= 2 free coffees

New Film Season
by the Rep Cinema
starts tomorrow at 19.30

Free entry, all welcome.

Mother!
One word for six films featuring images of motherhood, from the American melodrama to art house film and on to modern realism. In between we will find the mother both poetic and abject, but let us give them all our time if not always our unconditional affection. Giving birth is indeed an act of labour, and every child has only one woman to thank for their existence.

This season is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Aristi.

Thank you to all who came to the first night of our film fest last night.

Special thanks to the director Razan who spoke about her short film Go Home. A heartbreaking insightful glimpse into the asylum process in the UK. Razan also spoke about life in her homeland and specifically Gaza post and present living under the absolute injustice of Israeli occupation for decades.

Please come along tonight to watch the world premiere of MEA CULPA by Palestinian director Patrick Tass, followed by q&a

ARNA’S CHILDREN

WEDS 31ST JUL, 7PM
FREE donations welcome

‘When Israeli soldier Arna Mer-Khamis marries Palestinian Saliba Khamis in the 1950s, she becomes an activist for Palestinian human rights. Moving to Jenin, a city in the Palestinian West Bank, Arna opens a theater center for children. This documentary shows her work from 1989 to 1996, then returns in 2002 after Arna’s death to see how the children she mentored turned out. Many of them are dead, having turned to violent militancy after years of frustration with Israeli occupation.’
