Join EAFA and Even to celebrate the radical and popular origins of May Day.
In this May Day event, EAFA will show archive films from its collections that evoke the sweetness of life outside of work.
May Day began as an ancient rite of summer, later evolving into International Workers’ Day. Throughout its history it has been a time to leave work behind, party, and dream of different ways of living.
The event will feature a set by DJ Reg Tubby, and is organised in partnership with Even. The event is free to attend, and there’s no need to book.
Even presents a rich programme of music, performance, poetry and film, throughout May 2023. Find out more >>>
