“A real date, a real book, a venue Near already covers — this is exactly what near-events exists to catch.”

Kyoko Takenaka — an artist and photographer whose work moves between the two disciplines rather than staying in one — brings the London leg of her book launch to The Common Press Dalston on September 23, 2026. The venue's own listing describes it as "an evening of conversation, photography, performance and exploring Kyoko's experience," which is a broader billing than most book launches carry — this isn't a reading with a signing table after, it's closer to a small performance built around the book.
Tobi Adebajo joins as the evening's featured guest, though the venue's event page doesn't spell out their specific role beyond that credit — worth asking at the door or checking the venue's Instagram closer to the date if that detail matters to you.
Doors run 6:30–9pm on a Wednesday, which puts it comfortably in after-work-drink territory for anyone in Dalston or Stoke Newington already. Booking runs through Outsavvy; no ticket price is listed on the venue's own page at the time of writing, so don't assume free entry — confirm on the booking link before making it your whole evening's plan.
