Preview: This Is Not A Gateway

A three-day festival in Dalston begins tomorrow, bringing together filmmakers, writers, theorists, architects and urban planners to kick about ideas and knowledge on cities "from the ground up". Refreshingly starchitect-free, This Is Not A Gateway welcomes theorists and practitioners from across Europe for over forty events addressing the pressing needs of the modern urban environment. The talks, symposia and highbrow chin-wagging will be held at some of Dalston's finest creative hubs, including Rio Cinema, The Vortex, and Cafe Oto. The festival's full programme is available as a PDF, while more information can be found at their website.
