Let’s Be Brief chops up, marinades and serves up the politics of representation, the art of narrative and the power of the image.
We’re looking for writers and contributors with an eye for design, a penchant for politics and who are handy with a semi-colon.
If you’re one of those clever foxes, please get in touch.
For our second show on NTS Radio we’ll be talking ‘paper potential’ with LBB favourites Ronzo and Emily Evans.
Discover how a photocopier can become your best friend, the cosmic influences of Sun Ra, and what it takes to create the worlds first underwater paper craft computer game for Sony Playstation.
All that, this Saturday between 1-2 pm. Join us.
We’re pretty chuffed that The Insomniax have been featured on the Dazed Digial & Collective Sound of London Playlist – a selection inspired by the Flyknit Collective series of creative workshops recently held at Nike’s east London 1948 space.
With tracks chosen by Dazed’s Rod Stanley, Tim Noakes and Terence Teh, the guys are keeping good company with the likes of Sbtrkt, Burial, Linton Kwesi Johnson and The Clash. Press play people.
If you’re regular – and I hope there’s a few of you – you’ll know that we’ve been working on the Greens Stories project for Affinity Sutton since October last year. We are really, really pleased to say that the final part of the project – the films – are in the can and on YouTube. You can vote for your favourite on the Affinity Sutton website.
Of course we’re totally impartial and without sounding like a swarmy game show host, all the competition winners were top folk and dead lovely to work with.
The films feature pensioners with attitude Jeannie & Eddie and their Guerrilla Vegetable Gardening, Phil the Power Saver telling us how we too could have Smarter Energy Use, Christine, Ian & Tom with their ambitious yet eco-friendly Community Growing Gardening Project in Stoke, Rob who has been patiently creating his very own Open source Carbon Calculator and Brian, Steph & Tony who took matters into their own hands to create a Recycling Revolution in Middlesbrough.
On July 20th Affinity Sutton will be screening the films and announcing the final winner of the competition. The prize is a weeks holiday at the Eden Project.
They were all an inspiring bunch who are the real faces of everyday activism. People creating changes in their lives and their communities; it’s heart warming stuff y’know.
