DESCRIPTION:*Illegalist\, Expropriator\, Anti-Organisational\, Intransigent \nDuring the late 19th century\, a singular\, vital\, courageous and coherent minority of the anarchist movement – warriors of the idea\, intellectuals of dynamite – gathered in London. They were exiles not only from European regimes but also\, in many cases\, from authoritarian\, decadent and worm-eaten socialist and anarchist groups. They came here in order to finance and coordinate their revolutionary attacks on the tyrannical regimes of central\, eastern and southern Europe. Creating an informal network which organised robbery\, forgery\, production of propaganda and arms procurement for the preparation of global insurrection was their project\, night and day. These ‘foreigners’ were the enemies of every state\, they were incorrigible subversives who felt no gratitude whatsoever for their benevolent ‘hosts’\, the bourgeois democracy of England at the height of its bloody colonial power. On the contrary they were determined to continue their war against all oppression\, and that London’s capitalists would pay for it!  At 6pm on Friday 26th June\, we will gather on the corner of Windmill Street & Charlotte Street W1T 2LY to begin a tour (until late) of the sites where our comrades of not-so-long ago discussed\, ate\, loved and fought together\, sleeplessly sweated over the most incendiary publications and plotted their next audacious attacks.  In case it requires any clarification this event is the passion project of a few 21st century anarchists\, not historians or tour guides. We want to spread and savour the words and experiences these comrades left to us as we continue to struggle for a free and creative life for all\, to be grasped immediately by daring and guile.   Leave the phones\, technology and social media blabla out of it\, let’s live a little!  Leave the academic or journalist bullshit\, let’s come with our own ideas and desires! THEN AS NOW: DEATH TO THE STATE\, LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

If you’re interested in learning more about the Knots Co-operative\, please email us! Research is Poetry is a peer-to-peer learning event inviting Knots collaborators\, alumn\, and audiences to bring in essays\, slides\, poetry\, photography\, and other creative forms of research. We invite you to discuss history\, current events\, politics\, art\, and culture through a class-conscious lens using lived experience\, theory\, and research.  In an era of AI summaries and digital slop\, let’s remember that research is poetry\, and needs us to contextualise it.  Lineup to be released.

Drawing on histories unearthed from the 56A Infoshop and Southwark Archives\, Naked Souls is a deck of oracle cards/fortunes/spells\, that invokes obscure queer histories\, to chart alternative maps for our futures. It is playful and sometimes frivolous\, existing in a makeshift between poetry and instruction. \nOriginal archival flyers from the 1980s and 90s will be on display throughout the evening.

You and Yours: \nSwinging across timelines and from the mundane to the surreal\, You and Yours is a study in grief: how it exists beyond seismic losses in the stories we inherit\, in shifting friendships\, and in uncertain landscapes. These poems celebrate the self as a malleable entity under the influence of all the lives it encounters\, and balance the pain that characterises the loss of a profound connection with the wonder of having it in the first place. \nAbout Ellen Renton: \nEllen Renton is a writer from Edinburgh. Her work has been published in journals including Poetry London\, Gutter\, and Magma\, and she released her debut pamphlet An Eye For An Eye For An Eye with Stewed Rhubarb Press. Her work in theatre has included the one-woman show Within Sight (2020)\, Disciples (2023)\, and PALS (in development in 2026). She has released an EP and the album My Noise is Nothing with electronic musician Lord of the Isles. She holds an MA in Creative Writing: Poetry from the University of East Anglia. \nPlease note this is an externally organised event.
