Nunnery Café Exhibition | Sofia Niazi
Thursday 20th November 2025 – Sunday 25th January 2026 , 8:30am to 3:00pm
For our current Nunnery Café exhibition, we are proud to present a showcase of work by artist and print technician Sofia Niazi. Niazi co-runs Rabbits Road Press, a community Risograph print studio and publishing press based at our Old Manor Park Library studio site. Through the press, she supports artists and community groups in Newham and beyond, offering collaborative printing and book-binding services that champion accessible, grassroots creative practice.
For her Café exhibition Unoriginal, Niazi presents a collection of Risograph prints drawn from artworks originally created in a range of mediums – from textiles and mosaics, to pieces developed as part of larger bodies of work. The exhibition features eight prints that together reflect her decade-long involvement with Risograph printing.
