Hackney WickED presents an evening of artists video, performance art and live music, curated by Laura May Lewis

An island formed by roads and waterways just south of the Olympic Park, the Sugar House Lane area is undergoing rapid physical and economic change. Sugarhouse Studios is on the north edge of the island, occupying an abandoned sign-writers workshop scheduled for demolition at some point in 2013. In the months before it joins many of its formers neighbours as rubble-awaiting-development, it will host a programme of cinema, music, food and drink in celebration of the area’s complex histories and in investigation of its mirad of possible futures. Along side the event space, there will be a workshop for small scale making and design and a cafe and bar, open seven days a week. Doors open at 6pm, performances and film from 8pm
