ART: I LOVE WOOD GREEN - MEHMET HASSAN

This month in our gallery: photography by Mehmet Hassan.

Mehmet Hassan is a professional photographer based in Wood Green. Shooting street photography for over ten years, Mehmet has an interest in capturing moments where people drop their guard amidst the bustle of city life.
Sharpening his skills in architectural photography, Mehmet progressed naturally to shooting at eye-level, preferring to photograph London life as it happened, unguarded. 

'I find street photography intoxicating, a place where I lose myself, the only thought crossing my mind is the patterns of people crossing my path. When I'm shooting on the streets I am constantly scanning, watching and anticipating the movements of the crowd ready to fire off my shutter. I don't pretend that what I shoot is the full story, my photography is a construct of my mind and I consider each photo a self portrait.'

One of Mehmet's many projects is documenting Wood Green. Centred mainly around the Harringay area, capturing moments stretching up to the Holloway Road and circling back through Green Lanes. Mehmet's Wood Green portfolio dates back to his earliest time as a street photographer, capturing moments we all recognise. 

'Wood Green is probably me at my most raw. As a child of the area, I feel a degree of protection about the place. Wood Green is an ever evolving location, with a population that has long roots dating back decades. I feel it's always at the cusp of changing; it certainly isn't the same place I grew up in as a child.' Free.

Book Launch: LAND OF HOPE by CATE BAUM

A Haringey Arts Festival event. 7pm. Free.

Join author Cate Baum to celebrate the release of her novel Land of Hope.


Wife of The Devil O’ Th’ Moor. Hope Gleason has many names. The child of a shepherd raised in the remote moors of Northern England, Hope has always understood the satanic brutality of the land.

But when an ear-splitting, unknowable sound destroys the nearby village, Hope must embark on a dangerous journey to survive through the ravaged land with a lad, newly orphaned and alone, under her wing. As they trek the wilds together to find her husband, her violent past chases her at every turn and long-buried memories begin to resurface. A pitch-black, magnetic, and unforgettable meditation on the nature of love, evil, and the power of redemption, Land of Hope mixes history and the myths of the English moors to tell a compelling modern English fable of serial killers at the end of the world.

Do you like retro video games? So do we!


On the back of our board games afternoon, we realised there's a few of us who love the classic days of gaming. So we'll bring some classic consoles and games, and feel very free to bring your own.


Whether you want to play, show and tell, or just have some drinks and chat about classic video games, come join us!


At the very least, we'll have a PlayStation Classic, an N64 and a Japanese DreamCast up and running, along with anything you want to bring.


This is a free event, but if you'd be up for donating a fiver to the shop, that'd be lovely.
