We are very excited to announce the first of our series of ‘Rhythm Changes: In Conversation’ – panels that explore creativity with a forward looking drive for positive change.

Our first talk will explore the various intersections between music, visual art, studio practice and community spirit featuring Jeremy Deller, Brainchild Festival, Sister Midnight & George Nelson (Moment’s Notice).

Alongside this discussion, we have asked panellists to bring a small snippet of their work to illustrate their work in the wider world.
After the panel we will have the fantastic Sister Midnight joining us for a DJ set, alongside a very special guest selector TBA  Free entry !

November 7th, panel 8-10 pm

+ Special Guest DJs 10-1am.

Jeremy Deller is a conceptual, video and installation artist. Deller often involves audiences in his creative practice, delving into a vast array of topics including British sociology, the history of rave culture, Roman Mosaics and life drawing with Iggy Pop.

Brainchild is a not-for-profit arts organisation & festival. Their mission is to celebrate and develop emerging artists and young adults by giving them the space, confidence and network to creatively engage with what matters to them.

George Nelson is a published music photographer and curator, working with and around the UK’s jazz musicians. His nights ‘Moment’s Notice’ showcase five leading lights in the art of spontaneous composition,  whilst his photography explores these artists behind the scenes in their day to day practice.

Sister Midnight is a not-for-profit co-operative organisation based in south east London. Since 2021, they’ve been campaigning to create Lewisham’s first community owned music venue, bringing a much needed cultural community hub to their local area. At the core of Sister Midnight’s work is their understanding of the sociopolitical power music holds in uniting and creating communities.
