AN EXPERIENCE CREATED BY HUMAN CONNECTION SPECIALISTS

Every RAW centres around uncensored storytelling by everyday people, paired with live music and art – curated around a chosen theme. Taking over a different slick venue every time, RAWs adapt to the space and can be intimate affairs of 100 people, to a microfestival of 400 people – with food pop ups, makers’ markets, screenings etc. Why the theme? It filters the spectrum of human experience, bringing into focus our shared humanity.

RAWs are about as ‘London’ as it gets:

• Diverse – no two RAWs are ever the same, and the crowd is as patchwork as the city
• Dynamic – we plug into, and platform the many subcultures and tribes of London
• Plugged in– from members’ clubs to the hottest venues, RAWs give access to the best spots in town
• Entertaining – because why can’t the revolution be a bloody good time?
• Unapologetic – we want to make a difference and a dent

ABOUT THE THEME

Is it always true that ‘we have nothing to fear but fear itself?’ What about confronting our fears, whether of the unknown, of losing control, or of challenging deeply ingrained prejudices? Fear, that double edged sword that catalyses change or keeps us in paralysis, is at the root of so much good and bad about the world. On the one hand, it’s the fire that fuels the most daring acts of bravery and the deepest connections. On the other, it’s what keeps us small, isolated – and apart. We’re here to dissect both sides, and discover that maybe our shared freak-outs are what make us human.

ABOUT OUR TICKETING STRUCTURE

RAWs are nights that feed your soul, not drain your bank account. Think of it as an honesty system, with tickets ‘from free’, and further tiers of ‘Pay-what-you-can’. The highest priced tickets offset our free tickets, and make sure RAW is a vibrant event where everyone can find belonging, regardless of circumstances.

We ask that you select the ticket tier that’s within your means. Remember, releasing free tickets to RAWs is a form of revolution for us - not an indication of something thrown together. RAWs are highly curated and tailored to the host space. We are completely independent and boot-strapped to preserve the intention and integrity of the event. So every pound makes a difference.

THE RAW ORIGIN STORY

RAW started life among inner circles word of mouth. An “if you know you know” sorta vibe, before going public. But the backstory of this unique event goes back even further, stemming from WDN founder, Christine's insatiable curiosity and search for relatable, human experiences. 

Today, RAWs have come off the streets and away from kitchen tables – and take place monthly in some of the coolest venues across the city, building a patchwork tribe of good humans, doing good things.
