Join us for our online discussion before heading to Tretro Hall in Ealing for brunch. It's set to be one for the books (allow the pun) so get your tickets now!
Teatro Hall restores one of Ealing’s most historic buildings, the iconic 1930’s Forum Cinema at 61 New Broadway, W5 5AH. It honours the theatrical history and the art deco era of the original building with a large island bar, grand open kitchen, lots of banquettes and booths and an in-house Urban Distillery & Tasting Room.
Teatro Hall is a neighbourhood bar-restaurant. Open all-day and late-night with early morning coffee, brunch & hot-desking in the day through to cocktails, coal-fired pizza and DJs at night. Their food is centred on natural fuel with an authentic pizza oven imported from Modena, Italy, delivering coal-fired pizza. Everything on the menu is made in house every day from their 48 hour fermented pizza dough to their homemade pasta. They use the best ingredients they can and cook from scratch. Pizzas include their best sellers Rock Star Margherita and Smokey Bandit alongside some new pizzas like The Hot Don with ‘nduja, finocchiona, pickled chillies, hot red pesto and oregano.
Weaving together narratives that celebrate the triumph of Black female resistance, Catherine Joy White takes us on a unique journey through the eyes of positive and inspiring disruptors.
Throughout history, acts of defiance have taken place in secret, in kitchens, churches, through trusted networks. Others were projected onto a global stage through art, politics and activism.
From Alice Walker to Beyonce, from Audre Lorde to Doreen Lawrence, from Aretha Franklin to Zendaya: Catherine Joy White charts her own journey to self-discovery through the prism of extraordinary women to create a beautiful tapestry of Black joy.
Taking on the legacy of Angela Davis's Women, Race and Class, Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider and Saidiya Hartman's Wayward Lives, This Thread of Gold brings new life to the history of Black women's resistance.
