Po’JaM Co’LaB

Following our monthly Pop-up Bookshop, Po'JaM Co'LaB kicks off at 3pm in the Theatre Deli Cafe/Bar. 

This creative drop-in is a great chance to network with fellow creatives and easily connect with the Speakeasy Po’JaM Team: Eljai Morais, Stephane Harivelo, Josh Olusanya & Olayinka Sobitan.  

After the initial meet-and-greet in the Cafe/Bar, we'll move to a studio for a collaborative session where you can share projects, swap skills, sign up to perform for our bi-monthly open mic or just chill and chat. Po’JaM Co’LaB is your community hub, feel free to bring your instruments, ideas, laptops, writing materials, flyers, business cards – or just simply bring yourself! Co’Lab takes place on the first Saturday of every month, 3pm - 5pm at Theatre Deli, 107 Leadenhall Street, London, EC3A 4AF.
