Turner Contemporary, in collaboration with Black-led, Margate-based community organisation People Dem Collective and performance platform Diasporas Now, presents Turner Lates: Movements from the Margins on Friday 30 August from 5.30 - 9.00pm.

About

This pilot festival spans performance art, live music, film screenings, panel talks, and DJ sets with cross-diasporic lineups.

This co-curated evening will feature performances from record labels Touching Bass (Errol Anderson and Alex Rita) and PRAH Recordings (Tony Njoku and Donna Thompson) and Movements from the Margins Resident Artists (Ray Felix Carter and Ilā Kamalagharan, Sola, and Yewande Adeniran, selected via national open call).

Expect healing workshops and film screenings (including multidisciplinary artists Rieko Whitfield, Ebun Sodipo, Peter Spanjer), a panel talk hosted by guest of honour Lisa Anderson with representatives from People Dem Collective, Diasporas Now, and Touching Bass, and curated nourishment bringing Afro-Caribbean flavours to the Margate seaside (by Dee’s Table and Kromanti Rum).

The event is inspired by Turner Contemporary’s current exhibition on the pioneering painter Ed Clark, and his own strategies of seeking global support networks as an African-American artist during the Abstract Expressionist movement, to platform perspectives from the peripheries into the cultural canon.

In this ethos, Movements from the Margins is a coming together – an embodiment of improvisation, intuition and experimentation in community organising as a collective spiritual practice.
