Friday Late: Here and Elsewhere

22 Mar 2024 6.30-10pm

V&A
London SW7 2RL

Overview

Discover the role architecture plays in reflection, resilience and reclamation.

Tropical Modernism: Architecture and Independence explores the power of architecture as a symbol of progressiveness, distinct from British colonial rule in Ghana and India. Its story is one of colonialism and decolonisation, politics and power, defiance and independence. This Friday Late features artists dealing with land and occupation, from Ghana to India, and places in between. Join us to unpack our relationship with archives as sites for memory and reflection, and reanimate museum spaces through performances that spotlight anti-colonial struggles of not just the past, but also the present.
