Cugoano250: Julianknxx performance in Ode to Cugoano

Saturday 14th October

Julianknxx presents a special performance with a choir songs which echo the notion of ‘flight’ in relation to Africa, coinciding with Frieze London and his exhibition Chorus in Rememory of Flight at Barbican.

 

Julianknxx, the interdisciplinary artist, poet, and filmmaker, will present a significant performance in collaboration with a London-based community choir in ode to Quobna Ottobah Cugoano – the prominent abolitionist and historical figure in Black Britain.

This choral performance forms part of a wider multi-artform cultural programme curated by Ekow Eshun commemorating the 250th anniversary of the baptism of Cugoano at St James’s.
