‘Loneliness is social hunger’ - feed yourself at the JOY Café, a new interactive shop front art installation and live performance in Mayfair

JOY Café by Joy Bomb London (Amy Broch)Dates: Open from Wednesday October 5 – Sunday October 16, 12pm - 8pm. Free.Feeling socially malnourished and thirsty for meaningful contact post-pandemic? 

Joy Bomb London (aka artist Amy Broch) returns with JOY Café, a new pop-up site-specific installation where people can chat, play, laugh and nourish their ‘social biome’. 

The artist has once again transformed a former disused shop front in Mayfair, Central London, into a multi-sensory work of art and live performance. 
Members of the public are invited to join Illuminate Productions and Joy Bomb London at the JOY Café. Bring a friend, come alone or choose to chat with a JOY Bomb character.
Enjoy a 20-minute socially nutritious experience and visual treat over a drink and a snack and become part of this unique pop-up site-specific installation with live actors.
Participants can sit and relax in the shop window at JOY Café while becoming part of the show amid a kitsch kaleidoscope of vivid clashing colours, a fur carpet, inflatable dogs and messages spreading positive vibes to all. Numerous photo opportunities will be provided, and visitors are strongly encouraged to capture their fun time.
