Capsule’s Home of Metal and Bradford 2025 present an all-day celebration of resistance and cooperation in honour of the city’s anarchist social centre: the 1 in 12 Club.
About the day
Home of Metal is taking over Loading Bay, Bradford 2025’s pop-up venue in the heart of the city, for an all-day event celebrating the 1 in 12 Club, Bradford’s long-standing anarchist social centre. Everything for Everyone! explores and celebrates anarchist values of self-management, co-operation and mutual aid with live music, talks, presentations and more.
Programme highlights include:
Gee Vaucher + Mark Wilson in Conversation
Gee Vaucher, the visionary artist, brings her uncompromising, politically charged aesthetic to the forefront in this rare conversation with fellow radical creative Mark Wilson (aka Mark Mob), founder of the Rockaway Park. Together, they will reflect on the evolution of anarchist art, collective action and the enduring power of creative resistance.
Presentations
We’ll also hear from key figures in contemporary anarchism and co-operative culture through a series of short presentations from:
1 in 12 Club, Bradford’s very own grassroots anarchist social centre
Black Lodge Press, Cj Reay’s print project inspired by DIY queer culture, working–class history and anarchist politics
Decolonise Fest, a volunteer-run, non-profit festival in London for punx of colour
Dog Section Press, an anti-profit publisher of seditious literature
The Lubber Fiend, a DIY music venue, radio station and community hub in Newcastle
MayDay Rooms, an archive and community space dedicated to radicalism, resistance and experimental culture
Muntjac, a Black and Asian anarchist collective that runs a publication, publishing house, print shop, blog and network
Stirchley Co–operative Development, who are building affordable and eco-friendly residential and retail premises in the West Midlands
Wharf Chambers, a Leeds bar and multi-use venue run by a workers’ co-op in partnership with a members’ club
Music
There will be live performances from:
One Leg One Eye, the powerful solo project from Ian Lynch (Lankum), fusing haunting folk traditions with immersive, experimental sound to create a bold and unforgettable sonic experience
Hang Linton, a Leeds-based musician who blends punk, noise and alternative rock to explore social issues, resistance and personal expression
