Free Urban Junk Drumming Workshops
Friday 19th and Sunday 21st August 1.30-3.30pm

Chinatown Arts Space presents, in partnership with London Chinese Community Centre, the Urban Junk Drumming Workshops for East Asian young people of 11-18 years old. No experience required!

Junk Drumming Master Bernie Gardner will show you a new way of drumming - creative, spontaneous and fun - using urban junk such as water bottles, pots and bins, plastic buckets, and even stuff found in London Chinatown, e.g. oil tins, chopsticks, frying woks and pans…anything that can be hit to create a rhyme!

Please check out my music at: http://listn.to/KevinQuanmusic

Thanks for your support!

Katsumi Omori is one of the leading Japanese photographers working today. He has developed his career, displaying a distinguished technique and representation, by employing a seemingly straightforward action of documentation. His candid and faithful attitude towards his subjects and his unique sensitivity have won him acclaim both in Japan and overseas, receiving awards including the Excellence Award in the Canon New Cosmos of Photography in 1994.

Life Friendly Residency with Yan Preston
25 July – 6 August
Open Studio: 5 & 6 August
Late Night Opening with the Artist: 5 August, 5pm - 7:30pm

Plus Life Friendly Events throughout the Summer

Chinese Arts Centre is delighted to announce the experimental ‘Life Friendly Project’ in collaboration with research consultancy Culture Probe, this summer. The Life Friendly Project attempts to explore how artists and art organisations can work in ways that have a positive (benign / restorative) impact on both human quality of life and on the natural world. This approach is in radical contrast to the low carbon economy eco-efficiency approach, which focuses on reducing negative impact. There is considerable evidence that eco-efficiency does not solve the climate change problem but only slows it down, and has other unintended negative consequences.
