Our joint Guest Editors this week are Cimeon Ellerton-Kay and Natalie V Hall, co-founders of Social Convention, 'a club for the creative and curious'.

Founded in 2018, Social Convention aims to bring something different to London’s creative scene – a combination of studio support for new projects, networking possibilities to make new connections and take careers up a notch, and kick-ass parties to make it all go with a bang. 

In Nat's Run Riot Interview with writer Ben Walters, they chat about their spanking new venue in Canning Town, and what artists and lovers of arts and culture can expect from this new creative venture. Spoiler alert: involves arty parties, film screenings, live immersive audiovisual albums, and all manner of projects for us all. Enjoy!

Well, dear player, engage how you can, and enjoy yourself! We'll write again soon. Bottoms up! RR x
