Event description:
Come and join us at January’s Open Arts Café as we usher in the new decade, embracing the tides of change and testing our powers of prophecy as we explore ‘Futurism: Figments of your Imagination’. Whether you think Google will take over our world, or your grandchildren will be fluent in Cantonese or actors will be replaced by Avatars… we assure you that our line-up of artists are ten steps ahead. We will explore the absurd, the terrifying, the funny and the surreal as we travel back to the future with our very own Docs to guide us. The Café will be filled with… Laughter from… Rob Broderick, John-Luke Roberts Prose from… Faye Thomas Interactive Installations from… Kirstin Smith, Shaun May, Pablo Rivera Exhibitions from... Michelle Laing, Andrea Tyrimos Poetry from our resident poet... James Hogg Note: James will be indisposed on the 28th and therefore using futuristic recording technology to bring this month's poem direct to your brain. He will be writing using your contributions as per usual so... Please please please send your sentence contributions ASAP via: Facebook event page wall or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or telepathy Here it is, your question for January: As any film or television buff will know, in 'Space 1999' we blow up the moon using science. 2010 was the year we/Rob Schneider made contact (with aliens). Please make one or two predications about the way we live 40 years from now. Come and see the Open Arts Café as you have never seen it before! Pay-what-you-can. Drinks and nibbles available. All are welcome! Find out more about Open Arts Café

Location description:
West London Synagogue was founded in 1840, the first Reform Synagogue in Britain. Today it is a thriving community of 4,000 men, women and children, maintaining its ethos of Jewish tradition and modernity. Running through our Synagogue is a strong sense of community - some families have been members for three or four generations. Yet that does not mean we live in the past. With our dynamic Rabbinical, professional and lay team, we are pursuing fresh ideas with energy and inspiration.
