This month, :{Unplanned Afternoons}: is going global to celebrate Refugee Week by throwing a special party on the summer solstice. We’re very excited to welcome two DJs at the forefront of World Music in Britain, MAX REINHARDT and RITA RAY.
:{NB}:
Get there early, though, as Max is on first at 12 noon.
This will be the biggest :{Unplanned Afternoon}: in our three-year history and, consequently, we’ve secured the fabulous Corbet Place venue off Brick Lane. In addition, you can try some authentic Afghan food, cooked in front of you and watch graffiti artists creating new works on the terrace.

Max and Rita have worked together on numerous occasions, notably the Afrobeat inspired riot which is The Shrine, a club night out of which came The Shrine Synchrosystem, where they invite rappers, musicians and dancers to jam over their beats, and which has toured internationally. They also programme international music events, like London’s biggest free festival, Rise, Wychwood and Celebrating Sanctuary, of which they are Artistic Directors. They are currently writing a book on Fela Kuti, called ‘Talkin’ About Fela’.

:{REFUGEE WEEK 2008}: Monday16th - Sunday 22nd June
www.refugeeweek.org.uk
Celebrating its tenth year, Refugee Week 2008 will host hundreds of exciting events up and down the country, encouraging the UK to explore refugee issues, bring together communities and celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK. Refugee Week looks to dispel negative images of refugees through providing a space for encounters, which also highlights the UK’s long history of welcoming those who seek sanctuary here.

Corbet Place is special. Sneakily hidden behind two unassuming wooden doors in a brick wall, the venue has been around for two years, hosting some exceptionally riotous parties, private events, a few secret gigs, exhibitions, film shoots and designer sales. Inside, Corbet Place is spacious, airy and comfortable but, for the summer, there’s also a nice, big terrace and even a secret garden.
