SUMMARY:Reclaim the City of London: MayDay Rooms and Rebel Tours workshop and walking tour
DESCRIPTION:Join MayDay Rooms and Rebel Tours for a critical exploration of London’s financial district\, examining the banks and insurance companies complicit in financing weapons\, fossil fuels\, border violence and genocide\, while reflecting on the long histories of resistance to corporate power in the City.  \nThe event will take place in two parts: an afternoon workshop and an evening walking tour.  \nDuring the workshop (3–5 pm)\, we will delve into archival materials documenting struggles against privatisation\, financial power and the corporate takeover of public space in central London\, including Reclaim the Streets’ reissues of Financial Crimes\, produced around the mobilisation against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Summit in Prague in September 2000\, and Evading Standards\, created for the 1999 “June 18th” Carnival Against Capital in the City of London. Together\, these materials offer a window into traditions of direct action\, counter-mapping and anti-capitalist organising that sought to disrupt the infrastructures of global finance.  \nTickets for the workshop (3-5pm) here  \nOn the walking tour (6–8 pm)\, we will trace the histories of financial institutions embedded in the City of London — many of which are deeply connected to the British Empire\, colonial extraction\, and enduring systems of global inequality. Moving through the banking district\, we will examine how contemporary finance continues to shape political violence\, ecological collapse and policed migration regimes across the world. With an eye to the archival workshop\, we will discuss the possibilities for resistance today.  \nTickets for the walking tour (6-8 pm) here

SUMMARY:Research is Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Research is Poetry: Knots presents our first night of Research is Poetry\, hosted at Pelican House on June 26th from 6-9 pm.  This will be fundraising for our Co-op registering fee\, so we are able to do more noise nights\, develop long form productions\, and host community workshops\, from an art-workers led perspective. 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.

SUMMARY:Club Commons x Feminist Library Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intergenerational queer conversation weaving together archival memory\, nightlife history\, and collective futures.   \nThis evening brings together three icons who shaped London’s lesbian and queer scenes from the 1980s and 90s to today: Katherine Griffiths\, DJ and researcher who participated in grassroots lesbian nightlife in London through the 80s and 90s; Yvonne Taylor of Sistermatic\, the pioneering Black lesbian sound system; and Gin of Nite Dykez\, DJ\, promoter\, and event producer\, all of whom feature in the book Club Commons: Moving Bodies to Grow Movements in Queer Nightlife and Beyond by Anjali Prashar-Savoie\, out now with Velocity Press.  \nAlongside the talk\, the naked souls oracle will be present to invoke queer clairvoyants of the past to help us resist gentrification of the heart and mind in the present. 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.

SUMMARY:POETRY READING: ELLEN RENTON LAUNCHES 'YOU AND YOURS'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of poetry to mark the launch of Ellen Renton’s new pamphlet. 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.
