WW Gallery
-
03 May - 03 June
With String-scape, Evy Jokhova weaves a representation of the urban landscape, drawing on the rich architectural legacy of the East End and traces of the city’s past.
From the heavy bombing during the Blitz, to the modern regeneration of the 50s and 60s and the recent Olympic redevelopments, the weight of this history achieves lightness through a series of performances drawing in space with coloured string.
Lying somewhere between a 3D model, a virtual mapping, and an architectural drawing, the work touches upon the disparity between the beauty of a plan and its day-to-day realisation.

0871 951 1000Mangal Ocakbasi
Simply the best Turkish Ocak Basi Restaurant in East London!
In Turkey ocakbasi restaurants are where people eat when they're out, as opposed to places to go out to eat at. Mangal was established in 1990 and it is a typical ocakbasi, no menu, a refigerated display of raw kebabs, a steaming, sizzling ocak grill, a hot table laden with simmering stews and braises. Hot pide and sac breads accompany starters of lentil soup or garlicky cacik, and ezme is a winning dish of roasted aubergine mashed with olive oil , fresh tomato, green herbs and hot pepper.10 Arcola Street, off Stoke Newington Road, London E8 2DJ
