A huge thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday at Culpeper Community Gardens and Chapel Market to celebrate the launch of the 3rd edition of our Cubitt Community Press Newsletter 🌿🌀🗞️

It was wonderful to gather with contributors, neighbours, and friends to share the project, distribute newspapers, and celebrate the stories, places, and people that make Islington unique.

Together with local residents, we created a community map of the borough, marking more than 50 sites on the through an open call. From youth centres and cultural spaces to sites of radical action, local histories, and personal memories, the map connects past and present-day Islington through a collection of community knowledge — including a hand-drawn map of the borough.

Visitors also got involved with our limited-edition merch-making station, creating stickers, badges, and more, while Emmie — the mobile resource centre on wheels — hosted a temporary garden library for the afternoon 🌻

The newsletter was hand-designed, printed, and bound in Islington by our press group using the Cubitt Community risograph printer 🙌🖨️

Thank you to everyone who contributed, attended, shared stories, and helped make the day such a special celebration. ✨

Upcoming event for teachers, artist educators and arts workers. THRESHOLDS: CULTIVATING CURIOSITY IN THE CLASSROOM | 4:30-6pm, Tuesday 2 July, 2026

What happens when entering the art classroom becomes an opportunity to cultivate joy and curiosity?

In this gathering, artist Jasmin Bhanji and AMSI’s Head of Art Joeanna Omotesho will introduce Thresholds: a practice where the entrance to the art classroom is subtly transformed using material and sensory interventions. These have included disco lights and music, projections of waves, and glitter curtains.

We’ll explore how these interventions have invited new ways of entering and experiencing the classroom, sparking different kinds of conversations with students. This ‘consultation by action’ has informed curriculum development, shaped around young people’s responses.

Through hands-on creative activity, conversation, and reflection, we’ll explore ways to support meaningful engagement in art. You’ll leave with practical ideas and fresh perspectives to take into your own context.

This gathering is for teachers from primary, secondary, EYFS and SEND settings, as well as artist educators and arts workers.

Thresholds has emerged during Liberating the Curriculum (LTC), a two-year programme with Arts and Media School Islington (AMSI) that creates time and space to develop a flexible, diverse curriculum. By making space for slowing down and being present, we hope to support young people to bring more of themselves to their art education.

LTC is part of a long-term collaboration between Cubitt Artists and AMSI and is generously supported by Freelands Foundation as part of their Inclusive Practice Fund.

For the past year, artist Becky Lyon has been leading workshops with the elders at Mildmay’s Care Home in Islington. This summer and autumn, we are back transforming the community table, which we meet around, into a landscape for us to playfully explore through touch and texture!

Each month, we will use different artistic processes and take a different multisensory journey through texture, moving through the Fluffy & Squishy, Bubbly & Foamy, Glossy & Silky, Rough & Ridgy, and Smooth & Sealed.

As we go, we will conjure different memories, emotions and imaginative possibilities. We also demonstrate that there are many ways to explore the world around us, wherever we are and whatever we have to hand.

For over a decade, the Cubitt team and collaborating artists have developed lasting relationships with Mildmay residents and staff through ongoing creative workshops and celebratory events across shared living spaces, greens and community centres.

This project is generously supported by Islington Giving

🎨Looking back over the weekend’s final Community Press Think-in session in which we finalized the layout, print and fold of our community newsletter together. The making of this newsletter has included a collective design and editorial process. 🌞🖨️

Cubitt Community Press is a space to share local stories, document alternative histories, and support projects in our borough and beyond rooted in social justice. We believe in owning the tools of creation and using them to make things happen in and for our communities.

We are building on Islington’s long history of radical publishing, and since February 2026, we have been working on our third edition of our community newsletter, a community map of resources, memories and mutual aid projects in Islington, crowd sourced directly from people in the neighborhood.

We’re moving towards opening a Community Distribution Centre: a space to amplify stories from our borough across London (and beyond). In the coming years, we’ll be working through print and radio to support local organising, creative resistance, and collective storytelling as tools for social justice and radical imagination.
