Another installement in the series happening in Cargo restaurant features 8 graduating Photography students displaying their work in a exhibition entitled ‘Off The Map’. The students come form diverse cultural backgrounds and this is reflected in both the approach to their work and its content. Issues of identity, urban alienation and consumerism are addressed and personal and social narratives explored. In making the work various technical approaches have been employed, including moving image projections and a range of digital and analogue photography, mirroring the scope of subjects undertaken.



This exhibition is part of the Photomonth’s Exhibition. For More info click here



Off The Map runs from Monday 6th of October until the end of the month.

I’ve been asked to clear up the rumours. The Street Food Cafe did NOT burn down. They who run the eatery decided to follow a rather extreme cleaning method, highly recommend by the massively ego’d Chef Pierre Malbroset. They set fire to inner workings of the Street Food Cafe ON PURPOSE!! Yeah, that’s right. They wanted a real deep clean that can only be achieved through combustion… That is what southern softs called sarcasm, not a dialect that ole Les is that accustomed too, being a straight talker northern ex-stand up / ex-squaddie / ex-husband, but I’m getting my noggin round it slowly…

No, ok, there was a bit of fire, but it went out. And then from the ashes of the Street Food Cafe comes the brand spanking new CARGO RESTAURANT. That’s right, Cargo and the SFC have finally got married, and the SFC has taken the name of the Cargo by deed poll. It now votes and pays bills under the name of Cargo Restaurant, please for everyone’s sake as Snip Diggy Dag would say, ‘do not get it twisted.’

Work has been getting underway and by Monday 12th of May, the Cargo Restaurant will be open to the public, with a brand new menu, a new look and brand new name. They’ve even got a brand new bar in the new Cargo restaurant so stumbling distance is now only a couple of heavy steps away
