Cultural Revolutions

On Friday 25th September the Guildhall Art Gallery, London, will host an exhilarating celebration of the best of Black music, art and culture, with Cultural Revolutions.

Get ready to party! Throughout the tenure of its ground-breaking exhibition 'No Colour Bar: Black British Art in Action 1960-1990' , one of the most comprehensive surveys of Black British cultural heritage and social history in recent years, the Guildhall Art Gallery is playing host to a series of scheduled accompanying events.

At 6pm on Friday 25th September the gallery opens its doors for an exhilarating celebration of the best of Black music, art and culture from the '70s and '80s, with Cultural Revolutions. A tour of the times, the evening will feature a sparkling selection of readings, live music and performances from some of the UK’s foremost Black writers and there will also be screenings of short films by artists whose work is being displayed in the exhibition.

Guests will be able to enjoy a specially created 'Cultural Revolutions' cocktail at the gallery's pop up bar and are encouraged to dress in the fashions of the period - think flares, funky glasses and stack heels. There will be a vintage costumery available for those who need an extra touch of retro glamour!

Artists / Speakers: Nikki Cislyn, Lloyd Bradley, DJ Hughie, Khadijah Ibrahiim, Monica Ali, Tariq Mehmood, Leone Ross, Fred D’Agular and Bernardine Evaristo. Writers Sai Murray, Akila Richards, Gaylene Gould, Jacqueline Crooks, Michelle Inniss, Hana Riaz, Desiree Reynolds, Judith Bryan.
