Turning Heads with Shingai

Friday 27 August 2021

Explore the alternative Black artist and see what happens when the cultural canon is rewritten to incorporate iconic Black voices at this event, curated by one of our most interesting cultural figures.

Check back for details of the line-up.

This event is part of Summer Reunion, a season of collaborations with guest curators. It’s a chance to reflect on what we’ve learnt, what happens now – and a reunion of artists and audiences, families and friends.

Shingai Shoniwa is a Zimbabwean-British musician and vocalist. She rose to fame as the frontwoman of pop-indie band the Noisettes before launching her solo career in 2020. Shingai Shoniwa is the embodiment of a true cross artform performer, incorporating circus, fashion and theatre into her work.
