Is CENSORSHIP really appropriate?

Do individuals have the right to say whatever they wish even if this offends someone else?

Does CENSORSHIP have the effect of making art more appealing, more glamorous, and more exciting?

Watch it. The opening sequence sweeps instantly you into the broken lives of two heroin addicts in a sad and rather moving way.

Henry Hate is more used to inking up the bods of Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty and other tattooed celebs, but this wintry February he's turned his hand to something cooler; creating the world's first Ice Tattoo. Sponsored by Nissan Cube (hence the car inside the block of ice) the installation will be on the south bank of the Thames for the next day or so- until it melts, basically. But given the current weather, could still be there in May.

Below is a description of a new performance project Tai Shani is doing at the Rio Cinema, Dalston on Saturday the 13th of March.

To get involved - email Tai Shani

She is looking for female performers, there will be 1 or 2 rehearsals (poss the 11th and/or 12th march TBC) + the performance on Saturday the 13th
