Creative writing workshop

In association with Nike Sportswear and the London IAM1 Journey, Protein are running an open, half day creative writing workshop with Londonʼs Charlie Dark at Nike Sportswearʼs Shoreditch studio, gallery space and concept store, 1948 on Saturday 15th August from 2.30pm - 6.30pm. 1948 is located at 477-478 Batemans Row, London, EC2A 3HH.

The IAM1 Journey leads us through London, Milan, Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin where contemporary story tellers help us make the hidden visible in the search for new expressions of style, design and innovation. Londonʼs journey was seen through the eyes of Charlie Dark, incorporating east London artists, designers and producers including INSA, Benedict Radcliffe, Goldielocks and Protein. Check out the acclaimed films here.

Inspired by the project's theme of “Hidden London”, Charlie Dark will host a writing and performance workshop breaking down his creative processes and inspirations whilst talking about the IAM1 Journey and his long and illustrious career as an essential player in Londonʼs major underground music and art scenes.

Charlie Dark (Attica Blues, Blacktronica, Run Dem Crew)
From his beginnings with the seminal MoʼWax label and the dusty vibes and scribes of London legends Attica Blues through to being one of the worldʼs most respected slam poets. Invited to festivals in ever corner of the globe, Charlie Dark is a pillar of London, hosting courses, clashes and workshops. Charlie Dark created the Blacktronica collective to break down the boundaries between music, art and spoken word and now with his Run Dem Crew, lights up the darkness of London by charging through it, seeing the city like nobodyʼs ever seen before.
