Vashti Dine & Disco

Join Vashti for an evening of dinner and dancing at Pelican House! All tickets provide entry to the entire event with proceeds supporting Vashti Media, an independent online magazine offering Jewish perspectives on debates confronting the contemporary British left.

From 7-9 pm, we will serve a buffet-style dinner from new London pop-up, Yemeni Kitchen, which you can enjoy by purchasing an additional 10 pound dinner ticket. All proceeds from the dinner will support Hadeel and her family in Gaza. During dinner, we will hear from Hadeel and her family, along with enjoying shadow puppetry from friend of Vashti, D. Katz.

From 9 onwards, the Koshari Collective will take over the decks, featuring sets from Sha3by Chic, ⁠Kabir, and ⁠Shimi.

Drinks will be available from the Pelican House bar throughout the evening.

We will fundraise for Hadeel and Vashti throughout the evening, with opportunities for direct donations. Vashti merchandise will also be available.

This is a Pelican House Social Club event. By registering to attend, you will automatically become a member (for free), allowing you to enjoy drinks at our bar.

About Vashti Media

Founded in 2019, Vashti is now organised as a workers' co-operative and our members maintain a variety of relationships with Jewish life in Britain. While representing a new generation of Jewish identity and expression steeped in reckonings with empire, capitalism, climate change, austerity, xenophobia and ethno-nationalism, we approach such issues through a multigenerational lens that draws from, and engages with, the trailblazers who went before us.

Vashti publishes a weekly newsletter, The Pickle, which is written by our editorial collective and looks at recent domestic and international news stories from a Jewish leftist perspective. We also publish a broader selection of original reporting, analysis, and opinion from a range of external contributors, Jewish and non-Jewish, on our website.

Through retrieving buried stories from the Jewish past, documenting critical developments shaping the Jewish present, and expanding the political horizons of Jewish life, Vashti sees itself as a voice for a rejuvenated British Jewish Left committed to a just future, and a means to widen the debate over what it means to live an ethical, politically informed, and socially reparative life.

About Koshari Collective

Koshari are a London-based collective who have put on a series of sold out events across some of the city's most treasured clubs in the last few years. Their parties are a celebration of cultural exchange and musical diversity, drawing influences from the sounds of South Asia, North Africa, and their UK club heritage. Blending synth, bass, and percussion from around the world into a story that keeps the party shaking, their nights are as much about the musical journey as the warmth, connection, and sense of community that brings the dancefloor to life.
