SLAM FOR JAPAN
SLAM JAM part 5: Thrown Together now seems like an appropriate title. At CAKE we will be donating some of our money donated from drinks and any spontaneous donations made by you to the RED CROSS Japan Tsunami Appeal.
For every person that attends, the members of CAKE will donate some more money to the appeal. So GET AS MANY FRIENDS AS YOU CAN to attend. In addition to this, you will be supporting your local art community!
Please help us with this cause and have a super fun night!
THIS WEDNESDAY 16TH MARCH AT BANK STREET ARTS, SHEFFIELD. the night is STILL FREE.

Basic info on Sheffield Universal Education Collective:
The Sheffield Universal Education Collective is a recently formed body of rank and file union activists and workers in the higher education sector of Sheffield. Our aims are:
1) to provide a free and radical, and an open and democratic, education space in the city;
2) to offer sessions that both critically think about the world around us and explore means to changing the world around us;
3) to employ innovative and inclusive pedagogies.
We have been inspired by the recent waves of student protests and activism, and wish to link up with such students, and others, in a productive and creative educational exchange.
Our ambition is to include a wide layer of politically committed education practitioners in the city, from HE but also the school, further and adult education sectors.
A performance artist, writer and producer Lorena Rivero de Beer recently completed a Phd exploring the relationship between cultural politics, representation, aesthetics and subjectivity. Collaborating with The Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home (Lena Simic and Gary Anderson) Lorena has initiated The Free University of Liverpool. Billed as a protest against the recent tuition fee increases and cuts to university budgets The Free University of Liverpool states it has been developed to provide FREE education for any student who is keen to study. Believing that critical thought and action are at the heart of changing the world we live in, The Free University aims to teach about and practice cultural activism.
For the Say Something Series Lorena Rivero de Beer will talk about The Free University of Liverpool. She will discuss how it came about, the paradoxical space in which it exists and the challenges the university’s lecturers and students will be confronting. Come along to the talk if you will like to join the protest, create your own Free University or enroll in The Free University of Liverpool Foundation Degree that will be starting October 2011

Just something to tease you whilst our new website is constructed. Keep it locked here for our new updates and events information.
At CAKE, we love to support cool and interesting projects that support emerging and established artists in regional areas such as Sheffield. If that’s you, we want to hear from you!
As it is, we wanted to show respect to our first project – TeeBag Designs.
Run from the Kuji Shop at their new location (405 ECCLESALL ROAD), they support artists by showcasing designs by the Sheffield artist locals.
Each design is printed in limited editions and are available as prints/bags/tees depending on stock.
Not only this but everything is organic!
What-a-winner?
Current artists represented by TeeBag designs:
Our beloved Siobhan McSorley
