Artspace 5 is also houses the Roj Women Textiles workshop (pictured above with Jenny). The Roj Women Association was founded 10-years ago to provide services to young minority ethnic girls and women migrated to the United Kingdom from Kurdish regions fleeing from war, persecution, oppression and discrimination within Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. The Textiles workshop aims to create the space and facilities for Kurdish women to rekindle with the weaving and seamstress skills they have been taught from a young age by the older generation of women.

On Thursday 7th November, at 6pm Jenny cut the ribbon at Assembil Studio, Artspace 5 – Unit 3 Clarendon Yards, Coburg Road, N22 6TZ and its 35 artspaces. There she met with the various artists and community groups such as the Roj Women’s Association and Sophie from Assembil Books (pictured above) who have made Artspace 5 their home.
