Locked In / Locked Out

Distinguished poet and author Raymond Antrobus curates this unique evening of poetry and music in response to Hew Locke's collaborative exhibition Hew Locke: what have we here?

Winner of the Ted Hughes Award (2018), Antrobus will present his own curated selection of poets with material relating to the themes of the exhibition.

Hear from Courtney Conrad, Kareem Parkins-Brown, Francis-Xavier Mukiibi, P.A.BITEZ plus DJ/Word from Mr Gee. In this ground-breaking show Locke explores, questions and challenges narratives of British imperialism through objects from the collection, alongside specially commissioned new works. To quote Locke, 'this is a show of stories, some personal stories sometimes, and sometimes a more global story about colonisation…'

Join us for an evening of personal reflections and poetically woven diasporic narratives.
