Join us at Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh , on 28 September 2025 for Liquid Identities , the first-of-its-kind festival in Scotland celebrating the fluid, evolving nature of East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) identities. Coinciding with UK ESEA Heritage Month , this festival highlights the richness, diversity, and creativity of Scotland-based ESEA artists across all disciplines. Like liquid, our identities are constantly in motion — flowing, adapting, and reshaping themselves as we move through different spaces and experiences. This festival celebrates the beautiful complexity of being ESEA : code-switching between languages and cultures, navigating multiple senses of belonging, and creating new forms of identity that don’t fit traditional categories. Whether you’re part of the ESEA community, an ally, or simply interested in learning more about ESEA cultures — this festival is for you. In August 2025, we launched a callout for creative submissions, and the festival will feature the incredible work of Scotland-based ESEA artists selected through this process. The full line-up of artists and performances will be announced closer to the festival date . Event Details: Date: 28 September 2025 Venue: Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh Time: 13:00 PM – Late Supported by: Big Lottery Community Fund ( We Are Here For You project), in partnership with Mongol Identity, besea.n Peiwen Legacy Fund, Wu Asia Pacific, Tattu, EHFM, We Are Here Scotland, and Edinburgh Council’s Local Open Event Fund. About ESEA Creatives ESEA Creatives is a Scotland-based, community-led network supporting East and South East Asian artists, creatives, and cultural workers. We exist to nurture belonging, amplify underrepresented voices, and celebrate the richness and diversity of ESEA creative expression . Whether you are a first-generation immigrant, Scottish-born artist, cultural producer, or ally, ESEA Creatives brings together individuals across disciplines, generations, and diasporas to connect, collaborate, and celebrate creativity Information Source: ESEA Creatives | eventbrite

By now, you might have heard that your gut is crucial in maintaining your health as a whole. But what does it actually do? And what does a healthy gut look like? Research is mounting that its role extends way beyond the digestive tract, from impacting sleep, immunity, skin, hormones, to mental health. Join Dr Emily Prpa in this talk to digest the latest gut microbiome science on your second brain by exploring the most recent scientific discoveries, while busting myths surrounding fad diets that promise to miraculously boost gut health. In particular, we will focus on the Gut-Brain axis: the two-way communication between the gut and the brain. With 90% of your serotonin (or the ‘happy hormone’) being produced in the gut, we will answer which foods are in focus when it comes to boosting your mood. Better yet, this microbiome masterclass will holistically guide you towards cultivating a balanced, gut-friendly diet that nurtures both body and mind. Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!

Postmodern Conversation Club is a surreal take on a classic conversation club concept. You'll meet a bunch of new people for a series of short one-on-one conversations... each of which is facilitated by a different quest. Your quests may involve discussing a particular topic, creating a piece of art, attempting a mind-reading technique, communicating via a revamped piece of 1990s technology, or almost anything else. The goal of Postmodern Conversation Club is to be fun... and also to encourage more interesting, varied, lively conversations that aren't just small talk. This is the FIRST Postmodern Conversation Club event, and we encourage you to come along with an open mind... and then to come to the pub with us afterwards to discuss how it went. This event is facilitated by the International Ghost Society - Edinburgh's most eclectic historical society. It'll take place in Throat Punch Coffee Company, where there'll be some drinks and light refreshments on offer. Information Source: The International Ghost Appreciation Society | eventbrite
