Can anyone decipher anything on this recently revealed ghost sign at 83 Dalston Lane, London E8.
Photo is cropped from the original shared with me by the publisher of our London ghost signs book, Max Leonard at Isola Press (https://www.isolapress.com). He's got one word/layer having 'SANITATION' but nothing more than that...

Probably not the day to suggest a change on the venerated London Transport / Underground map but ...
It's a short walk between Dalton Kingsland and Dalston Junction station. So why wouldn't there be a handy dotted line to show how you can walk (without rhythm) between them?

I'm excited to share that I've helped line up the European premiere of Married to Comics in London on Monday, 26 August: https://www.riocinema.org.uk/movie/married-to-comics---uk-premiere.
I'll be sharing more about this in next week's worldwide events roundup email (sign up for free at https://bl.ag/join) but also wanted to get word out on here.
I'll post the tralier and other screenings in the next post, and would appreciate boosts, especially from London/UK folk.

As this was a hit gone wrong and linked to the Turkish Mob it's going to have to take some real detective work to get the culprit. That poor girl 😔

Join us on SATURDAY 13th of April between 2pm and 8pm at Halkevi Kurdish Community Centre (33 Dalston Lane, E8 3DF).
We will be screening Children of Shatila (1998), an account of the Shatila refugee camp as it is view through the creative eyes of two Palestinian children. Many people first became aware of this camp in Lebanon after the shocking and horrific Sabra-Shatila massacre that took place there in 1982. We will hold an informal discussion after the film.
This is a chance for people who are unable to attend the big Palestine marches in London to come along and learn more about different forms of Palestinian resistance and participate in other acts of solidarity. The screening has been scheduled for a later time so that people may join after demo, if there is one scheduled on the day.

The Dalston Solidarity Cafe is a space that connects a diversity of collectives, realities and individuals who by sharing their knowledge and experience will be able to offer a range of mutualistic practices. These can help the community to improve our condition and happiness, beyond the “survival mode” today’s society forces us to be in. -

We are super excited to announce that Nejma Collective are collaborating with us on Saturday 10th February for an afternoon aiming to make connections between and build solidarity from UK prisons to Palestine!
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Address: Halkevi Kurdish Community Centre 33 Dalston Lane, E8 3DF.
From 2pm there will be free food and drinks as well as a prayer space available.
The cafe will also have:
- Infoshop - zines, stickers & more
- Free binders donated by GenderSwap (limited sizes available)
- Free shop & clothes swap
- Radical book swap & giveaway
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
From 4-5 Nejma Collective will host a discussion/workshop connecting Palestine and policing through the nexus of British colonialism, as well as tracing a history of cultural resistance.
From 5.30 to 6.30 then brings an exciting line up of poets and performers manifesting the tradition of resistance culture that Palestinians have long forged in the face of occupation; as well as the tradition of prison poetry from people around the world.
Far from secondary, words in all their forms have often been the vanguard of resistance and the place from which freedom is first made possible! Nejma Collective also offer us to step outside a secular imaginary and draw on duas (supplications) of the oppressed.The evening’s line up so far includes: Rakaya Fetuga, Lisa Luxx, Jamal Mehmood, Amina Jama, Tasnim Zyeda and Lola Olufemi - with more to come!
After 6.30 we invite everyone to join us in writing letters to Pal Actionists and our incarcerated siblings!
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
The cafe is located in the basement of the building, accessed through a flight of stairs. There is a lift in the building and the space is wheelchair accessible. To use the lift, enter the building through Tyssent St.We hope to see you there!

@mxtthxw I remember when I was young the year before I’d left for Papua New Guinea and Australia for four years I was buying a lot of singles as a teenager and I bought Rupie Edwards’ singles that got in the charts at the time (nobody else I knew at school found it interesting, I was on my own there)
My wife and I have been living where we are in London for coming up to 24 years now and she and I take the train to go shopping now and then at Dalston market (she’s Jamaican so lots of Jamaican food ingredients there) and about oh 15 years ago or so maybe more I stumbled into a little record shop on Ridley Road with an old Jamaican guy in there and there were lots of Rupie Edward’s records on the wall, I mentioned to him that I bought those records when I was a teenager – turned out he was Rupie Edwards! My wife and I came back to say hello now and then, I took a few pics on my Mamiya C330 (she didn’t really know who he was to be honest)
The record shop has been gone over ten years, no idea what’s happened to him, if he’s still around, but when we went to Jamaica last time or the time before we went to Bob Marley’s old house and I met Bongo Herman there and mentioned Rupie Edwards and he knew him, so he gave me his business card with his phone number and said if I see Rupie again to tell him to call Bongo
Like an idiot I lost the card for over a decade, only just found it about a year ago – possibly too late for the both of those old men, I regret
