Legendary African-Americans in London 1860s-1960s
February 21st 2021, from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM
Many African-Americans came to Britain in the mid 1800s to escape US white supremacy. Once there they gave speeches, networked, raised funds, collaborated, shared strategies with and inspired African-British people who had similar struggles. These visits stretched from before the US Civil War (1865) to the Black Power movements of the 1970s and even now. This online event will consist of a one hour presentation, plus Q&A.

Unloomed Light Show: An Installation for Strings and Certain Sketchy Objects of String Theory
From January 17th to February 14th 2021
Unloomed is a light installation which has been adapted so that it’s viewable on an online stream. Via this stream, you’ll be able to hear and see how strings sound when they are set in motion and you get to see what’s happening inside of the installation. If the lights seem random, take a closer look! You’ll see that the strings are attached to the ceiling and wooden beams on the floor. With performances from three different groups, both the light and sound comes together in a system.
