About us
The Left Culture Club hosts social events, skill-sharing workshops, cultural activities, film screenings, reading groups and games nights for London's progressives, dissidents, and radicals. Everyone is welcome, whatever your politics or your level of political committment.
The Club was created to solve a problem: how do we bring together all people trying to face the political, economic and social challenges of our times and give them a space to understand each other better, without making political parties or activist organisations the starting point? There's nothing worse than trying to get to know people and explore progressive politics when the price of admission to these spaces is making all the right political committments, reading all the right literature, or having the right backstory. The LCC wants to make the political left a welcoming place again, and that means providing a space for progressives and radicals to move together without having to sign up to each others' newsletters from day one.
If you ever wanted to learn more about emancipatory politics, or if you've ever felt like your activist group or political org wasn't providing the social space that every broad movement needs in order to hold itself together, then the Left Culture Club is for you.
We are committed to making every one of our events welcoming and safe for everybody. Our spaces are non-partisan, but not apolitical. Racism, fascism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, antisemitism, classism, and any other forms of discrimination based on preference or identity are not tolerated. If you are a victim of bigotry or harassment at any of our events, please raise this with an organizer, who will act appropriately. We broadly follow this code of conduct https://wiki.dbzer0.com/divisions-by-zero/the-anarchist-code-of-conduct/

Secret Film Screening Series: Border as Method
LARC, 62 Fieldgate St, London E1 1ES, UK, London, GBJoin LCC for the first screening in Border as Method, a six-part series on borders, bordering, and borderlands.
Taking up Mezzadra and Neilson's provocation that "the border has inscribed itself at the center of contemporary experience," the series asks us to think beyond the border as a line between two sovereign states. Across six films, we will encounter the border in multiple material and discursive forms. Each film in the series will build on questions raised by the last, followed by an open discussion.
The films themselves are secret. We won’t publish the titles in advance, but guesses are welcome.
Our second screening is a 1970s film about two men dreaming of escaping Senegal for Europe.
Looking forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts.
