It’s the second month of the year (finally) and it’s going off with a bang in Brixton. Check out some of our favourite things this month.
Support this store opening
When: 1st February
Where: Unit 57 Granville Arcade, SW9 8PR
Brixton Street Wear are opening their first ever physical shop! Brothers Dan and Pete set up the brand and have since raised thousands of pounds for local causes through their ‘give back’ scheme. They’re opening their first ever site in Granville Arcade with style: head down for a serious launch party with special guest DJs and an after party at Lost In Brixton.
Challenge the narrative
When: 2nd February
Where: Black Cultural Archives, SW2 1EF
Join this conversation with artists Larry Achiampong and David Blandy, hosted by Lisa Anderson (Managing director at the BCA). The discussion will be around their film God_Mode, the “…roots of deeply ingrained racial ideas in society and the pivotal role of science in shaping these perceptions”.
Go thrifting
When: 3rd February
Where: Pop Brixton, SW9 8PQ
A vintage kilo sale is exactly what our winter wardrobe (and winter-worn wallets) need. Pop Brixton are hosting a shopping extravaganza where you can collect as many ‘new’ clothes as you want and pay by weight!
Kick off the Six Nations in style
When: 3rd February
Where: Hope & Anchor,
The Hope & Anchor is the perfect spot to watch the England vs Italy game because, after the sport is over they are continuing the evening with their Waitangi Day pub crawl after party! Celebrating all things Kiwi, there’ll be live music into the evening from Tyler Braggins & Friends and then a DJ ’til late. Perfect to celebrate or… forget!
Watch this new play
When: 13th-16th February
Where: Brixton House Theatre, SW9 8GL
‘PROTEST’ is a brand new play showing at Brixton House Theatre. It’s about three girls standing up for what they believe in “despite the injustices stacked against them… exploring what it takes to make a difference, the power of friendship and the importance of believing in your own voice“.
Go to a fashion show
When: 17th February
Where: HAUS, SW9 7AW
