This event is a part of "Collective Intimacy", a live programme inspired by The Showroom’s commitment to togetherness and communal knowledge that takes on multiple trans-located narratives of the current Black experience as a point of departure for a cosmopolitan worldview. It hosts interdisciplinary interventions by artists, musicians, designers, writers, collectives and members of the public, who are all invited to distort notions of selfhood and togetherness in the spirit of creating a global community.
