URL To IRL

An evening for diverse creatives, professionals & entrepreneurs to meet, eat and connect in real life.

Date

07/25

We built an intentional, curated environment that prioritised offline connection through icebreakers, collaboration-centred activities and communal dining.

To promote this event, we shot our first short film split into - 5 episodes following the individual journeys of 4 diverse creatives, battling invoices, imposter syndrome, burnout and disconnection - before joining each other in real life.

Beyond the episodes, we captured photography that so vividly captured not just the essence but the presence of our characters. In their beauty, their self-expression and their aura.

URL to IRL was an evening all about bringing the Nourishers together to leave their bubbles, form lasting connections and find inspiration within the beautiful Second Home Spitalfields venue.

The sonic landscape of afro-electronic, tech, afrobeats, dance, alte and UK diasporic sounds spun by Salmah Dixon contributed a space where attendees could dance, vibe and exist happily.

Shout out to our vendors and our caterer - Bun Babylon Bakery, WorldofWAL & the delicious Jay’s Kitchen.

Shout our partners who donated prizes for the raffle - CIME Lab, Yutes Off The Boat, 4th Estate Books & WorldofWAL

We even incorporated a raffle to raise money for refugees in Sudan & Palestine via the charity Road to Freedom.

What people have said

It was really great connecting with everyone & meeting new people. I was a bit nervous about going to the event & not knowing anyone but had such an amazing time. The activities were fun, great music and nice food

Really enjoyed. Everyone had the mindset of trying to get to know people. The chance to create on the spot was fun, something we don't often get the time to do because we're always working.
