Shahina Jaffer, Shyaam Caine & Jalal Awan

An afternoon packed with live music and artistry. The event is part of the Deptford X Festival.

3 artists will be showcasing their work as well as getting the audience to join them on an artistic voyage of creativity and discovery.
– They will be talking about different themes and topics related to creativity, mainly art and how art influences us a human species on many different levels.
– Live music will be played throughout the event by Shyaam.
– There will be a chance for audience members to use their own creativity, interact with the artists and explore how perception influences the art of observation. .

We encourage you to come with an open-mind and remember that, as Joseph Beuys said, “everyone is an artist” so specialist skills are not required!
.

We look forward to seeing you at the Leban Building on Sunday 27th October 2019 at 12;00

Warmest regards,
Shahina Jalal & Shyaam
