« Launch of ‘Estate Talks’ at Haggerston Community Centre

Enter into the Tower Tavern, opening its bar doors again not for a pint, but for a tonic to the mind, the body and the imagination. Join academics, artists and community leaders from different walks of life and contribute to a unique immersive cocktail of ideas about how we can Live Well Together.

Collaboration

The People Speak are working with the University of Westminster, Bloomsbury Festival Artistic Associates Orit Azaz / Bill Gee, Old Diorama Arts Centre, community leaders from Regent’s Park Estate and artists Adesole Akinleye, Aya Nakamura and Sofie Layton to capture the results of these unique academic and artistic collaborations.

On the day

Interdisciplinary and interactive sessions start from 11am. Then, from 1pm join us around the Talkaoke table outside the Tower Tavern pub for a free-flowing reflection and more creative discoveries as we imagine new ways of tracking outcomes of unusual collaborations. We will be joined by our friends from Live Projects – research and social impact experts.

Talkaoke is the pop up talk show by The People Speak art collective. It’s up to the participants to decide on the topics of conversation. Each chat journeys from one unexpected subject to another. It can be topical, funny, deep, surreal, or something else. The format is simple: the host sits in the middle of an illuminated round table, and participants sit around the outside to talk about whatever comes up. Just grab the microphone and share your views.
