The Hair Cut Before the Party

12-6pm. Free but booking required for haircuts.

The hair cut before the party have set up shop at Meanwhile Space Whitechapel for a long weekend of cuts, talk and talk about cuts.

In exchange for a free haircut they're asking you to use that time to talk to them, sharing your social and political views and ideas about community and belonging in order to build a map of new political and social networks. You can book a cut on the website, and also see who else is getting into the barber's seat.

The salon will be open all weekend for anyone to stop by and join the conversation. From time to time there'll be conversations with people you might be interested in joining, some you might have heard of, others you've never met.

Check the website or follow @haircutsbtp on Twitter for the latest schedule.

The hair cut before the party will be part of our 2011 Two Degrees festival (12-18 June).
