Surprise me
To celebrate the final weeks of Sweet Harmony: RAVE | TODAY, visitors are invited to enjoy after-hours special access to see the exhibition for the last time, including the re-installed photographs by Seana Gavin documenting her life as part of the Free Party Movement (1993-2003), and the immersive installation 'Lotus Inverted' by Conrad Shawcross in Gallery 3 - an elevated and spinning golden Lotus combined with a blaring commissioned piece by musician Mylo, referencing 'getting to the rave, and searching for a beacon in a dark field.'
Attendees to the Lates event this Friday evening can roam the exhibition and relive the party in an exciting programme of talks and live dj sets in Gallery 10's Rave Room and Vinyl Record Shop located on the Ground Floor.
Entering the exhibition this month, we are delighted to announce collective Badgirlz (SP23 Sound System) and the all-giving team at Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK) bringing a special selection of djs and producers as part of the final Sweet Harmony Lates on 6th September.
From the UK Underground party to the Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK) in Calais, come and meet the people who once served up all night free parties in squats and fields and who now serve up nutritious food to vulnerable and displaced individuals in need, in the UK and abroad.
