Have you ever wanted to tell your neighbourhood that you love its parks? Or you hate the lack of parking? Is there too much rubbish, or not enough graffiti?

Hack/flash present the Hey Roath! workshop, where you are invited to come along and tell us what you think Roath. Positive, negative, neutral, whatever – get it off your chest and up onto the walls of the Dance Studio at the Gate!

We’ll be there from 1-6pm, Sunday 16th October. Pop in and add to our display of Roath-isms!

Hope to see you there!

If you can’t make it, or would like to send your Roath-related ramblings in advance, just email us at hackflashflash@gmail.com and we’ll get your message up on the wall for you!

(A heads up from Plastik man, Marc Thomas, about the first ever Plastik Picture Parade!)

On Sunday 2 October, we’re putting on our first ever Plastik Picture Parade – a new comedy game show based around film and cinema. Presented by Robin Morgan (Glee Club, comedian) the film features appearances from Ellen Waddell (Los Campesinos!), Tom Betts (Chapter Moviemaker) and Adam Chard (Well… you know).
The night combines comedy, prizes (sponsored by DizzyJam) and lots of film related trivia. The first night will have a cameo from Sparky Deathcap as he pays tribute to his favourite film star through the medium of song.

The night’s free to get in and it would be great to see you at THE GATE ARTS CENTRE at 7.30pm on Sunday 2 October. If you want more information we’ve also got a Facebook event.

There will also be free popcorn – so, that’s something.

The forthcoming new exhibition at The Sho Gallery, curated by Spike Dennis, presents work by an international selection of artists and designers whose work addresses the current trend for information visuals, or ‘Infographics. The breadth of topics covered is vast and Spike is hoping that visitors will be inspired, shocked, educated, enlightened, and perhaps most importantly, made to smile.
