June 2018 – To Do List

June 6, 2018

& so we move into June, a month that welcomes another outrageously over-hyped sporting gathering to our cultural calendar. The World Cup in Russia may well bring some entertainment to our screens, but that can’t take away from the frankly appalling behavior of football’s governing body FIFA. Over racism & corruption, they are peerless in how often they let the world down, so keep the football in context this month, & open yourselves up to some of the wonderful stuff happening right here on your E2 doorstep…

RISO PRINT CLUB REVIVAL – The Common House 

Friday 15th June – 7 – 9pm

The Common House is aiming to get people involved in working collaboratively & contributing to the running of their Riso’ Print Club. If interested, you should come along & understand what they do first, learn how the print machine works & agree to teach other people how to use it in return. Once introduced, it may be possible to print some of your own work but the emphasis here is definitely on working collaboratively, creating a visual commons & becoming a contributing member rather than just a consumer. This is a gathering that would suit E2 residents interested in exploring being radical and being grass roots.
