The Art of Curiosity

While our Indian Summer softly lingers, our culture diary is picking up pace handsomely! Two big festivals are upon us, the first of which is the London Design Festival (13-21 Sept) at various locations. One of our highlights is the D&AD launch of their publication - Annual - celebrating the best of their industry over the last year, taking place at Bl-nk (16 Sept). The other biggy is the 58th BFI London Film Festival (8-19 Oct). Although it's a few weeks off, we'll be picking out highlights in our coming bulletins - but you can get a quick overview here.

In August we launched Run Riot Projects (our platform for learning and creative projects) with The Art of Mindfulness, a secular course with the brilliant neuroscientist Dr Tamara Russell. It did rather well and reached capacity within a week. So, we're now making available a new set of dates: 6.30-9pm, Thursday evenings, 30 Oct - 27 Nov. If you're interested or know someone who might be - please direct them to the new website where all the details (what, how, why, where etc) can be found. Thanks!

Calling all Sherlock's, Clouseau's, Poirot's - you get the idea - cunning sleuths! Here are a few cases for you to investigate, namely: Interrobang!? and Fifth Column. Word of warning, click on those links and the device you're reading from may explode 60 seconds later, so use somebody else's...

You may have read in the news lately something about World Leaders gathering in New York for the UN Climate Summit 2014. What you probably haven't read in the news is the worlds largest global climate demonstration will be taking place at various cities on Sunday 21 September. London's starting point will be at 12:30 on the Embankment, before heading to Parliament Square. Read more here - and see you there!

As for the best of the rest, here's our quick fire round: Orchestra Elastique / Dieter Meier / The Alternative Comedy Trio / Jim Jarmusch / Rasp Thorne & The Briars / Bright Ideas to Make Life Better / Oreet Ashery / Folk Rising / and the Double R Club!
