IKLECTIK is a nonprofit creative organisation and former music venue that hosted experimental, electronic and free improvisation music in Lambeth, London.
History
[edit]Opened in July 2014, the venue was located in the Old Paradise Yard creative community[1] on the northern border of Archbishop's Park.
The premises were formerly Kagyu Samye Dzong Tibetan Buddhist Centre[2] and prior to that, the Holy Trinity School.[3][4]
The venue hosted music performances, artist residencies, exhibitions, poetry readings, performance art, films screenings and book launches. Notable performers included John Butcher, Philip Jeck, Lolina, Thurston Moore, Pat Thomas, Eddie Prevost, Daniel Miller, Gareth Jones, Emmanuelle Waeckerlé, SolarX, Steve Davis, Puce Mary and Mark Fell.[5]
In November 2023, the venue was served an eviction notice after their lease renewal was rejected.[6][7] The final event took place on 20 January 2024[8] after which the organisation began crowdfunding for a new experimental creative hub.[9][10][11]
