Friday, June 9: Artist Palate #1 Art4Space x Candida Powell-Williams

Art4Space invites Candida Powell-Williams to launch a new Supper Club + Artist Talks series 'The Artist's Palate' at its studio in Stockwell.

While Candida - who makes sculptural installations and performances that explore how the artificial, human-made environment affects our psyche - presents, a Keralan Supper from Platform Cafe with guest chef Vizzy Sagar will be served.

Saturday, June 10: Live Music - Monsters Abyss + Roberta Medley

Monsters' Abyss - What if Bach gatecrashed The Pixies' birthday party?' That's just one of the questions asked by London based indie-rock outfit Monsters' Abyss. From classical to punk, indie and beyond, Monsters' Abyss fearlessly take inspiration from sounds they admire while giving the violin a proper place in indie-rock music.

Join Monsters' Abyss at the Bread & Roses, Clapham for the launch of their highly anticipated debut EP and a night of music that's sure to leave you wanting more!

Roberta Medley - Indie folk lovers, listen up! Roberta Medley, the Madrid-based band formed in 2012, is making their way to London and bringing their unique sound with them. With a mix of Spaniards and Argentinians in the group, their music draws influences from The Beatles, ELO, Balkan music, folk, and more. Above all, Roberta Medley's focus is on melody, creating songs that will stay with you long after the last chord is played.

Sunday, June 11: Ankle Swingers

Get on board the 154 bus with Will for a riotous journey through his final year of school in South London suburbia, as he navigates his changing sense of self and identity.

It's 2014, and seventeen-year-old Will is meant to be having the time of his life – he's smart, funny and not bad looking, but the world feels suffocating and he actually has no clue what is going on.

Condoms on bananas, the 154 bus, boobs or bum, beer, Morley's, raspberry flavoured vodka, wanking, parties, kissing girls, fancying boys, muffin tops, curry nights and teachers, Shakespeare, friendship, love, family, hope, nostalgia and trousers that don't quite fit you.

Loosely inspired by Khalil Gibran's The ProphetAnkle Swingers is a warm and uplifting show about the nostalgia for and of youth, as sweet-teenage-innocence is swamped by scary-bitter-adulthood.

Until June 24: 96 Festival

A glittering celebration of queerness and theatre under one roof, 96 Festival is back for an 8th year!

96 Festival is back by popular demand! A glittering line-up of artists will set up camp at Omnibus Theatre for a spectacular celebration of queerness and theatre.

A no holds barred extravaganza of theatre, comedy, cabaret, music, art and activism; now in its 8th year, 96 Festival has been conceived in remembrance and celebration of the iconic Pride party on Clapham Common in 1996.

June - July: Olga Grotova - The Friendship Garden

At Studio Voltaire, an exhibition of new work produced as part of artist-in-residence Olga Grotova's ongoing practice-based research project, The Friendship Garden. This project explores the land cultivation practices of Soviet women and female resistance to the authoritarian state.
