Where’s the popcorn? 4-15 October Various locations across London Visit bfi.org.uk for a full programme of events piece will hang in the market’s cafés for the duration of the exhibition, with buyers safe in the knowledge that by parting with their hard earned cash they are contributing to social change. But the exhibition is part of a much wider scheme which has its roots at St Paul’s Cathedral. A MyLondon summer competition challenged the public to take photos of the “city they love” with 100 one-time use disposable cameras with a view to creating a fundraising calendar from the resulting snaps. The resulting 2,500 images went to a selection panel and people affected by homelessness chose 20 for the MyLondon exhibition. And following a public vote in August, 13 were chosen to comprise the MyLondon calendar for 2018. Proceeds from its sale will raise money for art stars of the silver screen: to be hailed once more materials for the homeless. An award ceremony unveiling the calendar will take place on 9 October from 1pm. 10-15 October, 10am-5pm daily Spitalfields Arts Market, Brushfields Street E1 6AA DANCE / Square Dancing Workshop: How Do You Guangchang Wu? It is estimated that more than 100million people square dance on a regular basis in China, and if you stop by the Southbank this week you are likely to find out why. The arts hub is laying on a guangchang wu dance workshop as part of its China Exchange programme, promising to show guests exactly what makes the almost daily ritual such a popular event in the Far East. Participants can spend up to an hour perfecting their routine, and are often referred to as ‘dancing aunties’.
