From The Savages to Habibi, the music is selected by the Sisters for you to hear.
This October Southwark is witness to a rumbling of equality-demanding and
anti-capitalist sentiment and action this month, as a series of
workshops and events occur alongside a group exhibition of artworks made
on residency at Miss Pokeno's studio.
Here we are at
Pokeno's table burnt with the words women remember being thrown at them;
sewing, listening to audio and communicating.
Exhibition open hours are 10-4pm weekdays and by appointment at other times.

Noise from the Middle East FESTIVAL
Voices from Behind the Veil, integrates interviews of Egyptian women on the subject of the
hijab (the various head and body coverings of Islamic women) into a multilingual sound collage of
women's voices. By weaving women's opinions, stories, and discussions about the hijab together,
Voices from Behind the Veil reveals the multifaceted opinions and emotions by using a variety of
communication styles, some completed statements and other partially revealed dialogues, yielding a
richness of diversity in sound and content. The primary impetus of this project is to shift the (western)
gaze from stereotypical assumptions easily conjured by visual images of veiled women to an aural
encounter where the women (both veiled and not veiled) speak for themselves.
