The Revue Club, the monthly curated events programme by Soho Revue, creates an environment that pays hommage to the culture that orbits the art at the centre of our universe.
In salon style, the revue club will host evenings imbued with:
Poetry, music, culinary experiences, readings, in conversations, holistic practices, film screenings, fashion showrooms and more
always in conversation with the current exhibitions at the gallery.
Bex Day 'PETAL' Salon
Join us for an intimate evening, raising a glass with photographer and director Bex Day in celebration of her latest book release, ‘PETAL’, and three exclusive prints made especially with Revue Editions.
Celebrating the uniqueness of the vulva, ‘PETAL’ is a visual diary of a long-from project Day has worked on engaging with over a number of sitters, seeking to create a visual narrative that challenges the patriarchal status quo. Each vulva pictured in the collection is covered by a single flower or petal to reflect their shared and differing qualities and begin the conversation to dismantle the taboo that surrounds it.
Working closely with our in-house print studio, Revue Studios, Day has created three exclusive limited edition prints available to buy on the night.
With live readings from three sitters who feature in the book across the evening, we welcome everyone to embrace both the subjectivity and unity that ‘PETAL’ seeks to celebrate.
Reading the Gallery with Hector Campbelll

Reading and Reiki with Becca Pelly-Fry
Becca, curator of La Mariposa (The Butterfly Woman), will read from the chapter of Women Who Run with the Wolves which inspired the exhibition, followed by an informal group discussion about the themes in both the book and the exhibition. Becca will also talk about her practice as a Reiki Master, how it integrates with her work as a curator and links to the exhibition themes.
For those who would like to experience Reiki (a Japanese form of energy healing), Becca is offering four introductory (15 minute) Reiki sessions, on a first come first served basis, immediately after the event. Please book in advance through the gallery.
In line with the aims of the Revue Club’s mission to connect creatives with one another and art experiences in a new way, the first twenty minutes of the event will allow for meeting likeminded individuals.
Doors open at 18:30

Slow to Soften
Exhibiting artists Georgina Odell and Hanne Peeraer welcome guests to bring in the new year in gentle, purposeful reflection in two parts.
Firstly, with a guided meditation led by Hanne in her exhibition ‘Soft Reset’, and then materialising these learnings with an interactive automatic writing practice with Georgina, taking inspiration from her exhibition ‘Childhood Souvenirs’.
In addition to experiencing the artists’ respective exhibitions in a unique way of hearing further about the artists’ work, this workshop will turn the focus quietly inward, harnessing self-knowledge, expression and collective discovery, during a time when the focus can often be rooted in outward goals and ambitions.
