Life and Liberty @ Westbourne Grove Church

Brian HawA church is showing exhibitions?
Well more accurately that should be Westbourne Grove Church Art Space.

Life and Liberty is an exhibition that will run for 6 weeks from September 16 to October 26. Full details have yet to be announced, but one event that is to take place is SOCPA - The Movie, to be shown at 19:30 on Friday September 19, to be followed by a Q&A session with the film-maker.

What is SOCPA?
In a sledgehammer-to-crack-nut moment, SOCPA - “serious organised crime and police act” is a law that was concocted to try to prevent long time anti-war activist Brian Haw from campaigning opposite parliament by making it illegal to hold a demonstration within 1km of the building without obtaining permission and being subject to arbitrary police imposed conditions. Brian is still there.

Entry to Westbourne Grove Church Art Space is free.

    Thanks a lot Phil, I’ll definitely try to check it out myself.

    And you might like to know that I’ve now turned off those pesky nofollow attributes on this blog so you’ll get a little link love for your trouble. Hope it helps!
