Open Projects Night Special

Tuesday May 12th
Doors & drinks 6.30pm; Presentations start 7pm

We’re having some issues with our online booking system. If you’re unable to book tickets via our website, please email events@kairos.london and we’ll put your name on the door. Apologies for the inconvenience. We hope it will be fixed soon.

Open Projects is our bi-monthly open mic night, where we learn about each other's projects, build connections and offer each other support.

For this special event, the last in our current space on Tottenham Court Road, we're also inviting anyone who has previously presented to come and give us an update about their project.

The evening will include a series of short presentations of new projects, followed by questions, discussion and offers of support. We'll then take a break for a one-pot vegan supper before hearing updates from previous Open Projects presenters.

Presentations on new projects will include:

• Lydia Williamson-Sawyer with Feel Tank, a participatory workshop that centres ambivalent and incongruent feelings as politically generative, creating space to collectively make sense of feelings beyond the individualising logics of late capitalism.
• Jeremy Carne with Groups for Thinking Aloud Together, facilitated sessions giving the 21-26 age group a place to share hopes and fears about the world, de-isolate, connect, and think with others.
• Jessica Townsend with The Better Ancestors Fund, a way for the over 50s to invest in a robust future for the young generations behind us.

Updates from previous presenters will include:

• Noah Gabriel Martin with the College of Modern Anxiety, immersive playshops drawing on revolutionary ideas from 2,500 years of philosophy to create transformative change.

Open Projects Night is for: Anyone with a radical idea they'd like to share and workshop. Anyone setting up or running a small Kairos-aligned project who needs support. Anyone with skills and experience they'd like to share. Anyone who would like to help grow our interconnectedness.

All are welcome to attend. If you'd like to present a new project, please send a brief description along with any multi-media to events@Kairos.London before Monday May 11th.

If you'd like to give us an update on a previous presentation, please send the name of your project and the date you presented to events@Kairos.London.

If you'd like to just come and listen you are also most welcome.

Before requesting a discounted ticket, please consider sincerely: Are you struggling to meet your basic needs? Would you have to make a genuine sacrifice to buy a full priced ticket? Do you have reduced earnings through a lifestyle choice, or rather, because you're dedicating your time to unpaid work relating to the climate and nature crises or as a result of structural inequality? If you're struggling to pay even the reduced price please contact us via events@kairos.london.

Please note that most of our events take place in our basement space and we do not have a lift so our venue is not fully accessible. Please get in touch if you have accessibility issues via events@kairos.london.
