Guess what ? We’re back with HARD FOOD FOR HARD TIMES: CHAPTER 2 We’re back on Sunday 13 September with Louis aka @_farmer9th for a practical workshop on growing food in London.

This workshop is about what you can realistically grow at home, especially if you’ve only got a windowsill, small space or you’re just starting out.

Together we’ll be 🌱 learning simple growing techniques
🌱 sharing seeds and resources
🌱 talking food, wages, provisioning and food justice
🌱 eating together
🌱 sending everyone home with a growing kit to keep experimenting

We’re also trying something different with our ticket prices.

Our overheads are the same for everyone who takes part, but we don’t think everyone should have to contribute the same amount towards them.

Tickets are £7 / £11 / £17 / £27, with tiers informed by local earnings in Tower Hamlets. Choose the one that best reflects your circumstances.

📍 House of Annetta, Spitalfields
🗓 Sunday 13 September
⏰ 6–9pm

Money shouldn’t be a barrier. If you need support with the ticket or travel send a DM

In preparation for our upcoming events hosted by @queercircle:

“Naming Ourselves: A reflective circle with Chloe Filani” (25th Oct) 

and

“Mama Look Ah Mas: Carnival History & Who Gets to Play Mas?” (29th Oct) 

we would love to contribute to their community library by including as many books as we can, suggested by the people! 

So don’t be shy and share your best reads from the diaspora. Anything Black, anything from the Islands and anything that you think the community would benefit from reading 📕

We look forward to hearing your suggestions! by @bareradicals

That time we took over @Brixton.Village’s The Night Gallery and showcased the art of local Black, queer artists to celebrate Pride.

“QUEER” was also an opportunity to shed light on the work still needed to tackle hostile policy for LGBTQI+ people in the Caribbean.

Our next get together is happening on 21 June in Greenwich and we’d love to see you there 🫶🏾 

Free RSVP for our Windrush Day Warmup in bio.

We’re hosting a friendly chat and cooking lesson with our long-term friend, the chef dey call @sisterwomansaf!

📍 @BrixtonPK
🗓️ 24 May
🕐 3.30pm

HARD FOOD FOR HARD TIMES is our response to the rising costs of cooking and the influx of overpriced cooking clubs. Reconnecting with culture through food was never meant to be expensive.

On 24 May, we’ll learn about hard food as a way people looked after themselves and each other within restricted conditions.

Join us and we’ll teach you how to make 2-3 low energy, adaptable recipes using economical ingredients. You’ll be fed and take home bits for packed lunch for the next day!

Get your heavily subsided tickets and find out how to contribute to the meal at the link in our bio 🫶🏾 taken in Brixton People's Kitchen by @bareradicals

ESSENTIAL READING → Beyond Survival edited by Ejeris Dixon and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. Read this if you are familiar with transformative justice language but want practical exercises, or you are holding space after harm and need structure. This book moves beyond theory into tools communities can use.  For Bare Radicals, it is about building ways to respond to harm without defaulting to punishment. Alt text included on all slides

ESSENTIAL READING 
 Elite Capture by Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò. Táíwò introduces the concept of elite capture: when political language and justice movements are redirected to serve those who already hold disproportionate power, even within marginalised groups. It is not an argument against identity politics but an argument against how power consolidates itself behind identity. For Bare Radicals, this lands because cultural work can become personality-led, representation can stop at visibility instead of change, funding can favour the already connected, and leadership can quietly centralise itself. Elite capture asks us to think structurally. Not who is the right person, but what are we building.

Book cover of Elite Capture: How the Powerful Took Over Identity Politics (And Everything Else) by Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò. Graphic reading “READ THIS IF…” followed by prompts about leadership, organising, and critiquing identity politics.

ICYMI: our founder goes to @mil_lisbon to talk about spaces we occupy and what power in nightlife looks like. Alongside a multifaceted group of thinkers also making moves in the music industry, nightlife and party scenes, @bogomirdoringer @gin.bali & @alasauvette.studio moderated by @lynxandme

Sometimes conferences feel like a bunch of non- revolutionary people clapping their owns backs but this one has been different. Probably our first conference with two workshops related to digital capitalism and rights (a fave from yday).

We shared a short reading list cos sharing is caring and hope people reach out with dreams to change the music world. 

The final days are today and tommorow. Let’s get it 👌🏽 taken in Lisbon, Portugal by @bareradicals
