A place that never ceases to surprise, where your expectations are never met but contradicted, shifted and enhanced. A place to soak in something new, old, lost, found not because someone told you to… because it is inevitably and invariably there in some corner of that strange building.
London’s longest running, truly independent arts venue, a continuation of the 70s spirit they couldn’t kill, that just secured 4 more years of lease after a hard battle with… an impossible rent increase (by their true name, the bastards).
Championing the outsider, the unfashionable, the other. Rejecting professionalism, strategy, power and selling out, rejecting the market, the secondary market and the homogenisation it breeds furiously. Embracing the DIY, the independent, the difficult, the intuitive, the romantic and the life affirming. Ethos strongly reflected in the programming of The Chamber of Pop Culture gallery, kinoKULTURE film programme.
