Anne:Seed | Events happening in September ✨
September's Workshops & Events
We are back! This evening we will be hosting our fully booked Herbalism workshop. Kirstin Wu and Randa Toko will be guiding participants in tea blending and oil infusions. Following their workshop is our screening of the documentary "The Street" about the gentrification of Hoxton Street. We are really excited to watch this film especially as Brick Lane residents fight for their neighbourhood. Please read more here about the #SaveBrickLane campaign here and give them the support they need in these times!
If you want to join us for the film screening, we are having a first-come no-booking approach so just come through by 8pm TONIGHT. We will close the front door when we've reached capacity. We will also be offering popcorn too!
We've also moved our bird-feeder & seed-bomb making workshop to earlier on Saturday. Now it's drop in between 11am - 2pm. And now you can book your place for our BPOC-only conversation circle led by House of Shango. There will be a plant-based meal created by Sister Woman Vegan that night. All these events are free of charge too :)
UPCOMING ANNE:SEED EVENTS
The Street Documentary Film Screening | Wednesday 15th September | 8pm - 10pm
LION are screening the critically acclaimed and unfunded 2019 documentary, The Street made by Zed Nelson. For several years he interviewed people who lived and worked on Hoxton Street, a shopping street in the East End of London, and traced its rapid gentrification. Hoxton Street is just one mile away from House of Annetta, and this film can inform us on the related changes that Brick Lane is also experiencing.
No booking necessary, we will open the doors for anyone to come to watch the screening but once the space is at capacity we will shut the front doors.

Bird Feeder & Seed Bomb Making Workshop | Saturday 18th September | 11am - 2pm
Join us for an afternoon of family-friendly DIY activities! We will be making bird feeders from old water bottles and seed bombs to support biodiversity. Facilitated by LION's Sam Siva and youth-worker and community activist Kieran Kirkwood, drop in between 11am - 2pm to join the activities.
We don't ask, we take: housing justice & the squatting movement | House of Shango & Sister Woman Vegan | Thursday 23rd September | 7pm
House of Shango will be hosting a BPOC-only conversation circle sharing knowledge on housing discrimination in the UK, how this relates to the squatting movement, and how we can fight to achieve housing justice. We will look at the history of squatting in Brick Lane within Bangladeshi communities, as well as how other African and Asian diasporic groups have used squatting as a form of resistance, and continue to do so.
This is relevant to today’s struggles against gentrification in Brick Lane and other Black and Brown majority areas. As Black squatters, House of Shango can offer insight and knowledge on these topics and facilitate a radical and inspiring collective discussion.
This conversation circle will include a buffet meal of plant-based African and Caribbean influenced food by Sister Woman Vegan.
