Tuesday 14th May 3.30pm – 5pm
What’s Cooking? is a social enterprise that gets young people working in the real world.
This is the second year that What’s Cooking? has worked with The Russet to provide young people with the opportunity to cook/bake/share food/talk in its amazing, dynamic and creative work space. After three afternoons of workshops at the café, 7 students from the nearby City Academy would like to invite you all to join them to share in their success, as they serve their delicious creations on Tuesday 14th May between 3.30 and 5 p.m.
In their own words:
“You are invited to join Year 10 students from The City Academy, Hackney for a delightful day of delicious food and drink. Enjoy our homemade sweet and savoury treats on sale and meet and mingle with new people”
During the workshops young people learn how to cook delicious, healthy food and how to run a cafe, from taking orders to making a darn good cappuccino. They work one-to-one and so are able to have the space and support to have conversations about what is important to them and the challenges they face. As well as learning practical skills and receiving holistic support, the young people have the opportunity to work in an innovative, entrepreneurial local business in their community.
Hosted by Hackney Downs Studios & The Russet.
yeah! Hackney interviews founder Bea Stevenson.
Come on down and say hello at either of the events on Tuesday 14th May 2013 or Tuesday 25th June at The Russet.

’25 + 4: An Urban Fairy Tale’
Lady Ray spent most of her time as a student partying hard until she unexpectedly fell pregnant and just 10 weeks after finding out, she gave birth.
SHOW DATES:
Private View: 6 – 9pm 25thApril
Exhibition dates: 26th – 29th April
Opening times: Thurs – Sun 12 – 6pm & by appointment

This exhibition hopes to unveil the enigma surrounding this clandestine woman as she guides us on a journey through a surreal, shocking and life-changing event.
Four months early, born at 25 weeks and weighing only 770g, her baby was small enough to fit in her hand. Suddenly she was a mother but there was no connection to the miniature alien body, covered in wires that lay for months in a box before her. It was as if her life came to a standstill as she spent 5 months inside an intensive care unit as a visitor to her newborn son.
The installation depicts her time then, within herself and within the dark corners of the ward, illustrating how such an intense experience and environment can induce an altered state of mind.
Using sculpture, sound, light, photography and film, Lady Ray will transport you into another mindscape.
In association with The Department of Brilliant.

Only Child London
I’ve always been really fascinated by the human psyche, social anthropology and secret societies. Kelly Jackson
Welcoming Only Child London to Hackney Downs Studios.
Only Child London is a design brand that promotes having an open mind, a positive attitude and a strong social presence. With a strong focus on jewellery as well as forthcoming expansion into other accessories and printed textiles, the brand offers a boldly designed range eclectically inspired by the mystery of ancient civilizations, the extraplanetary and the desire to have a good time.
The basis of the inspiration for the current collection, ‘Cosmic Curiosities’ lies in the mystery of ancient civilizations and their association with secret societies and the extraterrestrial. Titanium coated Quartz ‘asteroids’ collide with old-world inspired chain weavings, metallic spikes and 18k gold plated ancient curiosities to form a unique take on bold yet convenient jewellery.
Only Child will be running a pop up shop at Boxpark Shoreditch, Friday 1st until Thursday 7th March. Make sure you pop in to Unit 17.

The Lights And Then The Noise
We loved the idea that the person talking vividly about their alien encounter could just as easily be talking about their first ever punk rock show, and it was this ‘alien’ feeling that we wanted to capture. Mathy & Fran
Stumbling upon this sci-fi music short leaves a long lasting impression. It explores a first-encounter with a live music event. An experience of transcendence
‘The Lights And Then The Noise’ was written and directed by Mathy & Fran, featuring No Age and starring Emily Taafe.
Nominated for the British Council Best UK Short award at the London Short Film Festival.
Read an interview with Mathy & Fran. You can find this extraordinary male/female filmmaking duet at Hackney Downs Studios.

Cine Real Film Club
CINÉ-REAL is a non-for-profit film club with the aim of bringing together film makers, actors, writers, directors, producers, photographers, cinefiles etc, to enjoy classic films as film and share a passion for the moving image. The films shown are all 16mm prints. They are also all examples of how technical or financial limitations actually led to the development of a new style, such as the use of jump cuts in French New Wave, due to lack of film stock, or building tension in Jaws by only revealing the shark in the last 3rd, because the mechanical shark, looked mechanical!..Creation from limitation.

Real Scenes: Johannesburg
Clockwise Media, residents of Hackney Downs Studios, have just released this beautifully shot documentary in conjunction with Resident Advisor.
It tells the remarkable story of the South African city’s thriving house scene.
South Africans are the biggest consumers of house music in the world, and Johannesburg is the beating heart of their scene. If you’re looking for proof, there is no need to visit a nightclub. In turning on a television, listening to the radio or walking down the street, it’s clear that a 4/4 pulse is the metronome of everyday life. The city’s preferred sound—vocal-led, percussive, melodic—is largely at odds with what’s popular in other international markets; this coupled with cripplingly slow internet speeds goes some way to explaining SA’s absence from the global house music conversation. But although the scene’s stars hold ambitions that extend well beyond the country’s borders, the reality is that they’re thriving on home turf.
Johannesburg has written—and continues to write—its own narrative. It has tales of hardship. The fight to free itself from the brutality of apartheid, and the role music played in that struggle. In a city still rife with poverty, house music can offer a way out. For our latest Real Scenes film we journeyed to Johannesburg and its outer lying townships, meeting the DJs, producers, promoters and record labels who are central to its story.

Rob Carter, Le Corbusier, Edgard Varèse & Iannis Xenakis, Maya Deren & Alexander
Hamid, Max Hattler, Post-Works and Jan Švankmajer
Curated by graduating students on the MA Curating Contemporary Art (Inspire)
at the Royal College of Art
FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY
Thursday 6 September 2012, 7.30 – 10pm
Hackney Downs Studios, Amhurst Terrace, E8 2BT, London
Le Corbusier, Poème électronique (1958), photographer: Philips.

Brick Wall, Waterfall, an evening programme of screenings and discussion,
explores the construction and deconstruction of physical spaces through the
manipulation of sound and image.
The evening’s point of departure is Poème électronique (1958) by Le Corbusier, Edgard
Varèse & Iannis Xenakis, a unique performance that merged visual projections, musical
score and the structure of a pavilion. Presenting the rarely seen film version, Brick Wall,
Waterfall explores the challenges of re-capturing this ephemeral and site-specific event.
Installations of historical and contemporary film and video will continue this
investigation of sound and image in dialogue with the space of Hackney Downs
Studios. Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) by Maya Deren and Alexander Hamid is a
journey through physical and dream-like space. Fantasia in G Minor (1965) by Czech
filmmaker Jan Švankmajer and Rob Carter’s Stone on Stone (2009) use combinations of
filmed footage, collage and animation to create a constantly shifting narrative of
architectural form.
Specially commissioned for Brick Wall, Waterfall, Nidden Partikel (2012) by Max Hattler
is a video work inspired by the seashore, which shows swathes of sand particles being
translated into visual and acoustic ‘noise’. Architectural collective Post-Works will
present their film No Stop, Statue, Machine (2011) and participate in a discussion with
the curators that considers the relationship between sound, the moving image and
physical spaces.

In December we held a festival “Once Upon A Wintertime” to launch Hackney Downs Studios. There are a few smaller events booked in this season. Keep an eye out and we’ll keep you posted. Also check out our cafe The Russet where there are occasional evening dinning experiences and magical acoustic performance and sharing.
Once Upon A Wintertime is an immersive pop-up festival including arts, street food, shopping and music – open to everyone including families. The event marks the launch of an ambitious project to turn a 70,000 sq. ft. former print works into a creative East London community hub, forming the sister space to Netil House.
Find a roller disco, a 5m high medieval street scene, an 80ft banqueting table piled with a whole wild boar, gourmet street food and a cutting edge exhibition. Hackney Downs Studios was acquired by the company in October and the whole festival has been imagined and delivered within a two month planning period. The hugely ambitious festival set has been designed and built in house from scratch by the architectural and production team
Perfect stocking fillers, collectables, cards and trinkets all await within a dystopian woodland setting. The night market is a sensual, interactive extravaganza with immersive live happenings. Wander through an unearthly streetscene, sampling gourmet street food from Lucky Chip burger, The Bowler, Homeslice, Luardos, Hardcore Prawn, Kimchi Cult and Molly Bakes.
An exhibition showcasing new artists and cutting edge techniques forms an integral part of the event. Wen Wu’s recent works explore the beauty of young men seen through the eyes of her recently discovered alter ego, a gay, middle aged ancient Greek man. Royal College of Art alumni Eleanor Taylor is exhibiting her illustrations that reference Medieval, Byzantine and cubist paintings, whilst, Lisa Stockham’s sculptures express modern day life and anxieties through pattern, decoration and textile imagery.
Housed in the heart of the festival; a medieval banquet of epic proportions. Enjoy a sumptuous feast of venison and wild boar, whilst imbibing vodka cocktails at a 80ft feasting table all supplied by local producers the Wild Game Company.
In the main space lies a roller disco set in a galactic 6,000 sq. ft. warehouse. Complete with themed and curated bars, vintage dressing-up box and make-up station aiding skaters into a land of giant inflatable art, projections and mirror balls. Speakeasy aficionados Milk & Honey are on hand with hot cocktails…and this is just a taster of what’s in store.
With its new project Hackney Downs Studios, Creative Network Partners – the pioneering team behind Netil House, Netil Market, Netil 360 and Netil 000 – is aiming to breathe life into a forgotten print-works, transforming it into a cutting edge space for creatives, artists, professionals and the community. The studios will incorporate a live music venue, temporary gourmet restaurants, a screening room, media hub, film and recording studios and a spa.
CNP’s Fran Levy says: “From the start, our aim has been to provide a welcoming and accessible platform for all members of our local community to showcase their talents. Netil House and Netil Market have become hotspots for up and coming creative talent. With Once Upon A Wintertime, we hope to push that further by unveiling what we’re capable of as a company whilst collaborating with the local community, promoting talent and getting as many people as possible involved along the way!”
Once Upon A Wintertime is working with partners including Art Against Knives, The Amazings and Pamphlet to engage the local populationandbring together the residential and artistic communities of Tower Hamlets and Hackney.
