Conceived and curated by Gabriella Daris, YOKO ONO: LOOKING FOR.. (2 March – 31 December 2019) is a 10-month, multi-site exhibition showcasing Ono’s work in Cambridge for the first time.
The exhibition celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Ono’s first visit to Cambridge and her debut public concert with John Lennon at Cambridge University’s Lady Mitchell Hall on 2 March 1969.
YOKO ONO: LOOKING FOR... will open with the unveiling of a historic plaque in the foyer of the Lady Mitchell Hall on 2 March 2019, which will commemorate Ono's and Lennon's concert and preserve a hidden gem of Cambridge’s social history. Also in the foyer will be the live recording of their concert ‘Cambridge 1969’ for visitors to listen to until the end of the year.
The exhibition YOKO ONO: LOOKING FOR... will evolve throughout the year 2019, featuring installations, interventions, performances, film screenings and a symposium, taking place at various venues and public sites.
Conceived and curated by Gabriella Daris.
