GRAIN Presents: Theodora Laird, Caius Williams, Billy Steiger & Guests
To accompany Raheel Khan’s exhibition Memory Police, GRAIN presented an evening of performances from Theodora Laird, Caius Williams, Billy Steiger and guests at the Great Hall, Goldsmiths, University of London.
GRAIN Residency is a concert series, label and archiving project for experimental and improvised music, largely operating out of Avalon Cafe, South Bermondsey. Three years since its conception, GRAIN sits at the vanguard of the London DIY experimental scene – programming adventurous ensembles that reach across generations and musical backgrounds. Via an extensive archive, GRAIN grapples with the relationship between permanence and spontaneity – an ongoing dialogue between the transience of DIY arts spaces and the communities that populate them.
PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE GREAT HALL, LOCATED IN THE RICHARD HOGGART BUILDING ON GOLDSMITHS CAMPUS, NOT AT CCA.
Doors: 6:30pm
Event Starts: 7pm
You can find a map and directions to the Richard Hoggart Building on the image slider at the top of the page.
