Join contemporary artist and stage designer Es Devlin CBE RDI in conversation with writer, curator and broadcaster Ekow Eshun.

About

In this very special event, the pair will discuss Es Devlin’s major new work, Congregation, a new large-scale choral installation she has created in partnership with UK for UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency’s national charity partner at St Mary le Strand. The work, curated by Ekow Eshun, has been developed in collaboration with King’s College London in partnership with The Courtauld and will celebrate those who have brought their lives and their gifts to London, having experienced forced displacement from their homelands.

Ekow Eshun will also be discussing his new publication The Strangers: Five Extraordinary Black Men and the Worlds That Made Them, which tells an intimate portrait of five remarkable Black men, and is a meditation on race, estrangement and the search for home.
