An exhibition of embroideries, prints and drawings by award winning graphic novelist Gareth Brookes, will be hosted by the new studio/gallery space in SE22 [@155a_artist_space]


Known for his unusual approach to materials, Brookes has used embroidery, linocut, pressed flowers and even fire to make his unique graphic novels. This show aims to present Brookes? work outside the books he produces as beautiful, beguiling and powerful artworks in themselves.


The show features new embroideries from his forthcoming work Threadbare, as well as prints and drawings from his graphic novels The Black Project and A Thousand Coloured Castles and his latest short comic Afterwords.


The show will run from Thursday 22nd ? Monday 26th November from 10am ? 6pm. There will be a private view on Thursday 22nd from 7-9pm


All works will be for sale, plus there?ll be a pop up comic/graphic novel/zine shop.


There will also be two beginners workshops run by Gareth aimed at those wanting to get started in embroidery, these take place on Sunday 25th Nov 2-4pm and Monday 26th Nov 7-9pm. Places are limited so booking is essential. See www.gbrookes.com for further details and tickets are available here:

      Derelict Grove Tavern - who to contact?

      Sounds like a cool place to hang out, even it I am over the minimum drinking age.  Always looks cool when I cycle past, never seen any bother and love some of the community stuff they do too.

      Are you aware that the young people using the skate park, none of whom (to the best of my knowledge) had previously acted, put on an absolutely amazing performance of A Midsummer's Night Dream actually in and around the skate park? They all learned their words. To the best of my knowledge they all made their costumes. They all attended rehearsals.  During some scenes of the play, some of them were actually on skateboards. The performance would have been a credit to professional actors. It was wonderful. There were also a group of people using a small area behind the skateboard as an allotment. They are really keen. I have talked to them. I don't know if they are still there - it hasn't been the season or the weather for much growing lately.   As for "underage drinking and drugs " -  I have never seen any evidence of either on this site. Have you, or are you just making assumptions? Skateboarding is very skilled. How do you suppose somebody under the influence of alcohol or drugs could do it? The last time I passed, there was a father (I presume) in there with his son (I presume). I don't know who was teaching who, but it was really heartwarming to see.

      Fundraiser for local business owner - Akif Mushtaq - tragically killed by dangerous dog (please share with friends and neighbours in the area)

      Just wondering if the collections were merged, and if we know what charity/charities were supported in the end as a tribute to Akif Mushtaq? Apologies if this information was in another thread which I have missed.

      Totally agree with you that the skate park is a great little autonomous zone for kids and youth. But at the same time there's gotta be a way to make better of the pub than having a derelict, vandalised building, even if it means moving the skate park. It's not just a missed opportunity, it's actively antisocial neglect by Dulwich Estate and Stonegate.
