During the opening evening, Lou Stoppard and Malique Mohamud of Concrete Blossom, the collective that is organising the accompanying programme throughout the city, will enter into conversation with each other and with the visitors. We’ll be showing films that relate to the exhibition’s theme and there’s a space for reflection where you can take time to contemplate your impressions.

The Poetic Exhibition
Later in the evening, be inspired by The Poetic Exhibition, which storyteller Melanin Shangó Kris has put together specially for this occasion. The guest performers invited to interpret the exhibition and share their feelings about the hoodie include the poet Brooklyn Mozes, dancer Chanel Vyent, performer Josimar Gomes, violinist Shauntell Baumgard, pianist Almar Nooitmeer and drummer Timothy Bennet.
