Tickets are now available for the final Nicer Tuesdays event of 2025, featuring Academy Award-winning graphic designer Annie Atkins, contemporary artist Charlotte Mei, and viral storyteller Joe Bloom. The creative talk series will conclude its year with a festive finale on December 2 at EartH Hackney, promising insights into graphic design for film, overcoming impostor syndrome, and viral storytelling techniques.
The evening will showcase three distinct creative voices, each bringing unique perspectives to the stage. Charlotte Mei, a London-based contemporary artist, painter, and illustrator, will return to Nicer Tuesdays for the first time in seven years. Having collaborated with major brands including Sony Music, Hermès, Panasonic, and the New York Times, Mei's work has been exhibited internationally across London, Hong Kong, Berlin, and New York. She will discuss the significant evolution of her artistic practice, addressing themes of day dreaming, collaboration, and navigating the creative industry as a working-class artist dealing with impostor syndrome.
Joe Bloom, creator of the viral Instagram series "A View, from a bridge," will share his journey from casual street conversations to internet sensation. His project, which invites strangers and celebrities to share vulnerable stories on an old-fashioned red phone positioned on a bridge, has garnered nearly 600 million followers. The series has featured notable participants including David Byrne, Lil Simz, Cameron Winter, and Loyle Carner, creating a platform for emotionally transparent storytelling that resonates globally.
The highlight of the evening will be a question-and-answer session with Annie Atkins, whose Academy Award-winning work in production design has defined visual storytelling in contemporary cinema. Atkins is renowned for her meticulous graphic design work on Wes Anderson films including "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Isle of Dogs," and "The French Dispatch." Her expertise extends beyond film into publishing, with books such as "Fake Love Letters, Forged Telegrams, and Prison Escape Maps," which explores graphic objects for film sets, and her newest children's book "Letters from the North Pole." The Q&A will cover the importance of personal storytelling and provide behind-the-scenes insights into working in the film industry.
The event logistics have been carefully planned to enhance the attendee experience. Doors will open at 6:30 PM, with talks beginning at 7:15 PM. Early arrival is encouraged as seating is limited, and attendees can enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks provided by sponsors El Rayo Tequila and Lovecorn. El Rayo Tequila is revolutionizing tequila consumption through creative partnerships with artists and designers, promoting their Tequila & Tonic concept. Lovecorn, the UK's first crunchy corn brand, offers low-sugar, gluten-free, and vegan snacks that align with contemporary dietary preferences.
Epidemic Sound will provide both musical accompaniment and an interactive element to the evening.
