26th March 2026

As we approach the Easter weekend, we wanted to let you know that our office, Ayoka and The Gallery Cafe will be closed during the four-day weekend. We hope it offers a moment to slow down and enjoy the long weekend. We look forward to welcoming you back again on Tuesday 7th April at our usual hours.

Before we take this short break, we warmly invite you to visit our cafe and experience the final days of our current exhibition, which brings together thoughtful and engaging work exploring themes of identity, community and everyday life. It is a wonderful opportunity to spend some time with the artwork and enjoy the space's unique atmosphere alongside a cup of coffee or a meal. If you have been meaning to come by, this is the perfect time and we would love to see you.

Don’t miss the private view of KEYSTONE SPECIES today, from 6.30 to 8.30 pm at Proposition Studios in Bethnal Green, 279 Cambridge Heath Road. This new exhibition explores the idea of keystone species, organisms that have a disproportionately large impact on their ecosystems, supporting far more life than would be possible without them.
