Black communities have a long history of gathering together with music, food and drink. This exhibition brings together video, music, photography, design and dance to document and celebrate “From the Living Room to Club Night”: 50 years of celebrating Safe Space. From the ‘rent’ parties of the 60’s and ‘70s, to the Twilight Zone of the 80’s; from two decades of Bump N’ Hustle events, to the live performances featured In Capturing Sound, this archival installation bridges music, space and communities. “From the Living Room to Club Night” depicts a culture continually adapting to the times.
This exhibition is curated by BAND in collaboration with Orla Garriques, Michael Griffiths, Colm Hogan, Carlos Mondesir and Ian Watson.
The panel discussion will bring the collaborators together to shed light on the importance of these spaces to the black community. This will be followed by the launch of "The Front Room" with an intimate live performance by TANIKA CHARLES.
