The rampART creative centre and social space is a block of squatted buildings in East London. It acts as a social centre, a hub for socialising, skill and resource sharing, information exchange, and having fun. The space is not intended as an exclusive hang out for 'alternatives' but hopes to enage the wider community into the events, activities and involvement. Some of the activities taking place include skipped food cafe evenings, open access free shop, free film screenings, themed info days, political meetings and art exhibitions...
Some future events at the rampART...
-- Exhibitions @ 15-17 Rampart Street
The huge hall in what was previously an islamic girls school, makes a perfect gallery for exhibitions and instalations. We hope that we can encourage wider participation in other activities at the social centre by showcasing local artists...
> 16th July - 22nd July
A beginning... Emma Laugier's first exhibition and the first for the rampART too.
Mixed media; textiles, print and paint. Some music, and nice vegan beer from an
independent brewery not Stella!)
> 24th July - 28th July
2DOSPROD exhibition of photos, projections and technology.
punk, protest, dissent & revolution
> 30th July - 4th August
Selenation, an invitation to a sureal experience.
Sureal and often dark images in ink on wood.
-- Cafe @ 11 Rampart Street
We plan to open the cafe every night, serving mostly skipped vegan food on a free or donation basis - but to do this we will need more people actively involved. If you fancy cooking, washing up, or skipping some nice veggies, then you could make the difference between the cafe being open or not. In the meantime...
> Every thursday evening (from 6pm)
Squatters get together. An opportunity to eat and socialise while exchanging
info about empties or finding people to squat with.
(Thursday 22nd, we are organising a squatters info day with pratical workshops and skill exchange, films, music etc. see

-- Cinema nights @ 15-17 or 11 Rampart Street
Every wednesday, free cinema night. Usually a couple of feature length films and a bunch of often funny but always political shorts. Some of the films we have shown include; Fourth World War, Indefensible, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, The Day After Tomorrow, Fahrenheit 451, Metropolis and The Globalisation Tapes. We showed Michael Moores smash hit 'Fahrenheit 911' on July 4th as part of an Independence FROM America themed evening of films. About 50 people attened that screening and we've shown it twice since.
> 21st July from 8pm
the 'You are what you eat' night featuring
'Soylent Green' and 'Delmarva Chicken' plus various shorts about GM food.
We are increasingly showing films on nights over than wednesday also. The best way about finding out what we will be screening is to subscribe to the rampART mailing list.
