Our recipes and menu are inspired by Asian street food but have a British twist.”

Sabotage is a live, 24-hour online performance taking place on Friday 26 July that will splice together fragments of video and audio taken from international news channels with artist generated content, forming a constantly changing moving- image collage.

Jas Singh will create the performance in real time, blending the visuals and sound and broadcasting it as a live-stream. The performance aims to emphasise a narrative of unity and solidarity, placed within the spectacle of a news culture that reflects and amplifies the chaos of contemporary politics and events. In our Print Room then Lightbox gallery and online.
