Spotlight on Iran: an evening of political readings, live music, dialogue, and a fusion of Eastern European and Iranian food. *How do we come together in collective power when, by design, our attention is violently split between different geographies?* **Co-learning in Public** is a new event series dedicated to alternative political education through shared practices, lived experience, and collective learning. With each event, Eastern European histories and issues are brought into conversation with struggles and lessons from other regions, working towards transnational solidarity. The first event sheds light on Iran at a time when the uprising sparked by the collapse of the country’s currency was met with disproportionate violence, especially augmented by US threats. Revolution is no stranger to Eastern Europe. We know well the seduction of neoliberal ideas of freedom, where liberation is built on alignment with Western models. We also know, through feminist and anti-violence movements, that isolation is a deliberate tactic used to obstruct paths toward genuine freedom. Iran is being sealed off. During the evening: * Writer, curator, producer, and former political prisoner Aras Amiri will read and discuss her latest text, *The Eros of Revolution in Iran,* which looks at how movements like Woman, Life, Freedom grow out of and continue the struggles of the 1979 Revolution * Saxophonist Omid Amiri will perform a mix of Persian, Eastern European, and contemporary jazz throughout the evening * Aras Amiri will facilitate a conversation with the audience about the rise of the far right across different geographies, and how people are organising collectively in response (through unions, art collectives, social and political groups, university spaces, and beyond). You are invited to bring a short text to read (fiction, non-fiction, or theory), or to share a personal experience that feels relevant * A fusion of Eastern European and Iranian food will be offered at the start of the evening. **WHEN**: Friday, 27 February 2026, 7pm **WHERE**: Event Space, Pelican House, 144 Cambridge Heath Road, E1 5QJ London ### ABOUT THE SPEAKERS **Aras Amiri** I am an Iranian writer, curator, and art producer, born in 1986 in Amol. I grew up in the language and nature of Mazandaran. The meanings of the 1979 revolution, my parents’ love of music, art, and folklore, their leftist library, and the suppression of the regime formed my understanding of the world. My childhood imagination found its ground in writing which has stayed with me-when I was writing regularly, participating in literary scenes in Amol and Tehran, and during periods when I no longer wrote stories. Since moving to the UK in 2007, I have curated exhibitions of Iranian contemporary artists, published critical writing, and worked as Art Manager for Iran at the British Council, producing collaborative and international projects across artforms and publishing poetry, short stories, and a bilingual art magazine. Imprisoned in Iran from 2018 to 2022, I wrote poetry and fiction and completed my MA dissertation, *The Truth Content of Art and Its Relation to Freedom*, under Peter Osborne’s distant supervision. I now live in Jersey, co-founded The Moving Arts Collective, and continue to write in Farsi. **Omid Amiri** I am an Iranian musician and music educator. I was born amidst the beautiful nature of the Mazandaran region, where the forest, the sea, and the mountain come together. I was raised in a politically active family with a profound admiration for the arts, yet I grew up during the dark times of post-revolution Iran. My first two years were spent missing my imprisoned father, and I entered a society where social freedoms and the arts were strictly limited, all while a war raged with a neighboring country. In a time when carrying a musical instrument in public was forbidden, I found my sanctuary in music. Thanks to my music-loving and audiophile father, I spent my youth practicing freedom, expression, and imagination through playing piano and listening to sounds from diverse cultures and different music styles. Music became my greatest passion and remains my way of life up to this date. Later in my musical growth, I was deeply influenced by Black American Music—what the Western world knows as Jazz. I was first moved by the richness of this music itself, and then by its history of resilience. I studied BAM formally at ARPEJ Paris and I was mentored by the likes of Tony Kofi and Michel Goldberg, and have spent the last 22 years performing across the scenes of Tehran, Paris, and London. My repertoire spans BAM, Blues, Rock, Soul/R&B, African, Latin and Middle Eastern music, Persian fusion, and electronic music, often collaborating with poets and performance artists. For the past eight years, I have shared my love for music through saxophone lessons, music theory, and BAM history classes plus leading ensemble workshops. My musical journey is one of self-discovery, connection and sympathy. I have a deep desire to fuse different sources of music, finding joy in the interaction and unity and plural expression. To me, music is a service to humanity. I believe the intent and the soul are far more important than technique; humanity, honesty, and love are what truly enrich a musician’s creation.

In collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes and guitarist [Maria Camahort](https://mariacamahort.com/perfil/), Tuned In London presents a special fundraising tribute to London’s late great guitarist and percussionist Pablo Domínguez from Cadiz, featuring his fellow musicians, his friends and family: [Iberian Colours](https://mariacamahort.com/mcq-iberian-colours/), a quintet project sprung from a multi-genre collaboration of Spanish musicians who seek to bring to classical Chamber Music inspiration from the vivid colours, rhythms and textures of Spanish musical art and traditions. Award-winning guitar (Maria Camahort), soprano (Laura Ruhí-Vidal), cello (Sergio Serra), violin (Violeta García) and Pablo Domínguez' percussion (Demi García Sabat) come together to create something of great charisma and personality. Their set will include the première of a piece composed for Pablo. [Javier Ruibal](https://www.javierruibal.com/), exceptional singer songwriter, composer, poet and writer, awarded the Premio Nacional de las Músicas Actuales 2017, collaborator and neighbour of Pablo, who has performed at Ronnie Scott's, WOMAD and the Union Chapel, will be bringing us his stunning voice and guitar, his deeply moving poetry, melodies and lyricism. Our special guest, [Chano Domínguez](https://chanodominguez.com/), father of Pablo, is an acclaimed and much-garlanded composer and pianist who brings a fusion of jazz and flamenco to his world-renowned innovative playing. On February 3rd, 2025, guitarist and percussionist Pablo Domínguez (Cádiz, Spain) passed away as a result of a serious illness. One year later, his presence is still deeply felt in Spain, here in the UK and across the world, and this concert stands as a tribute to his genuine spirit and singular musical voice. City Hope Church is the venue in which he performed the last of his seven Tuned In London concerts. This will be VERY SPECIAL... we will celebrate Pablo in the company of his friends, his family and his fellow musicians. Do come, do tell your friends about it... We will also be hoping to raise funds for Pablo's wife and young children who will be present. So even if you can't attend, you might donate... Tickets are available on the [Tuned In London websit](https://tunedin.london/)e. Hope you can come. Doors open at 6.15 when the bar will be open. Music from 7pm.

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" -- the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow, she finds the resolve to speak, however she can--in a whisper, in song, in broken English--until she is heard

#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster #### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** #### A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom. Then they buy a rental…and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank. They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic. This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties… one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable. **Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event. John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has: * Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions** * Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property** * **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy. For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them…without a mortgage attached. **What You’ll Learn** John will break down, in simple terms: * Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on * Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer * How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time * How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster * What changes once rentals become free and clear This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course. John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios. **The Core Idea** When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.** When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.** Most people only see one timeline…30 years. This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear. **Who This Event Is For** This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper. * Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income * New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in * People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan * Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** January 25th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30) **Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required) **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** If you’ve ever wondered how rental properties actually turn into freedom —this is the room to be in.
