Explore how punk, goth and alternative fashion turned clothing into protest and whether style still has the power to rebel today. With Q&A. Have you ever been judged for what you’re wearing? Ever dressed a certain way to belong, to provoke, or to push back? Can an outfit really be an act of rebellion? From the 1950s onwards, British youth culture turned clothing into protest. Teddy Boys shocked post-war Britain with Edwardian revival suits and rock ‘n’ roll attitude. Mods and Rockers clashed on seaside promenades. Then punk exploded out of economic crisis and political disillusionment - ripped fabrics, safety pins and DIY slogans all exuded anti-establishment energy. By the 80s, goth and alternative subcultures emerged and continued to captivate young and old alike. In this talk, we’ll explore the history and politics of fashion through punk, goth and alternative style: how subcultures form and why they’re labelled rebellious. Together, we’ll trace how clothing became the language of resistance and ask whether dressing differently still has the power to disrupt. Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat! Follow us on IG @seedtalks Presented by Seed Talks This is an 18+ event

Explore queer myths, monsters and magic - from vampires to mermaids - and discover what they reveal about gender and sexuality. With Q&A. Have you ever been to a Pride Parade? You’ll often see a glorious display of papier-mâché unicorn heads, drag queens in mermaid tails and more fairy wings than you can shake a trident at. But these aren’t just accessories - they’re queer symbols with deep historic roots. To truly understand who queer people are today, we must confront the twisted tales of the past. Monsters and magic have always played a central role in LGBTQ+ history. Queer people have long been overrepresented among storytellers, magicians, spiritualists, and those who reinvent fairytales and myths. From the literary vampire to Disney’s The Little Mermaid, and from ancient Syria to the mainstage of RuPaul’s Drag Race, these stories span time and place - and they reveal more than just fantastical worlds. So, what can these queer myths and magical creatures teach us about gender, desire, and who we are today? Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!

Exploring the rich history and culture of psychedelics in Africa through research and lived experiences. Followed by Q&A. Fresh from his latest journeys across Africa, Darren Le Baron returns to share new discoveries and reflections. Following three months traveling through Southern Africa living among San Bushmen, Zulu, and Himba communities, before continuing on to Egypt, he revisits his acclaimed series, Psychedelics in Africa: The Untold Story, with fresh insight from the field. This session explores the deep history, mythology, and scientific research surrounding Africa’s psychoactive plants and fungi. For millennia, these potent natural allies have been central to spiritual practice, healing, and community cohesion among the continent’s earliest cultures, traditions that remain largely underrepresented in mainstream scholarship. Across Africa, many communities continue to engage these sacred substances in rites of passage, initiation ceremonies, spiritual communication, healing practices, and everyday ritual life. Bridging African and Diasporic perspectives, the presentation draws on academic sources alongside oral traditions, highlighting resonances in symbolism, cosmology, and language that reveal profound cultural continuities and thought-provoking insights.
