ICA is closed from the 30 May – 3 June inclusive.
Performance art platform Diasporas Now presents a line up of interdisciplinary performance with Tony Njoku, Valerie Asiimwe Amani, Zein Majali, ZINZILE, Pierre and Shauwdii. The artists bring performance art, live music and DJ sets to sound new terrains through body and spirit.
For Diasporas Now’s first national tour, over 20 artists of colour have been selected via open call by co-founders Rieko Whitfield, Paola Estrella, and Lulu Wang, and an additional guest panel of artists Harold Offeh and Michelle Williams Gamaker. The tour takes place across three cities – Northampton, Hull, and London – in partnership with the NN Contemporary Art (Northampton), Humber Street Gallery (Hull) and ICA (London).
Diasporas Now is a platform for expanded performance by the global majority, programming curated events that bridge workshops, panel discussions, museum lates, and nightlife. Their community celebrates cross-diasporic identities and champions artists of colour.
The platform was founded in 2021 by artists Rieko Whitfield, Paola Estrella, and Lulu Wang at the Royal College of Art. Originally focused on live-streamed programming, Diasporas Now has since expanded to live events at the intersection of performance art, visual art, music, dance, and fashion.
