Music mixed and created by @joonginthepark .XXIV - TWENTY FOUR is a piece reflecting upon the individual differences between the people and their cultures living in high rise council estates and the societal culture created
from that. The diversity and inclusion that exists in these high rise communities will be exhibited in the variety of the performers backgrounds. XXIV explores the frustrations that are common
amongst families living in such conditions and also acts as a tribute to the fallen voices of #GrenfellTower and hopes to pay respects to the many that lost their lives that tragic day.

What's coming up at POP! Festival? Here's another taster... MASQUERADED MEMOIRS

Inspired by the photo and video archives of their late father, Kayode Coker, multiple award-winning fashion and textile designer, illustrator and multidisciplinary artist, @ToluCoker and her brother, photographer and filmmaker, @adecokercola, present a film and discussion event on 21 March, 3pm at Bay20.

The siblings will curate, through film and documentary, the stories of past and present key community members and residents through a raw, unfiltered, and unadulterated account of the music, political and carnival culture existent in the North Kensington social housing communities.

Their father, Kayode Coker was a social activist, photo-journalist and valued community member who grew up in Abeokuta and Lagos, Nigeria before residing in the North Kensington estates for over 30 years before his passing. The film draws on the perspectives of different generations to highlight how changing social landscapes have influenced new notions of identity.

The film screening will be followed by a 30 minute talk and Q+A with Tolu Coker.

Coming up at POP! Festival: a joint exhibition "Re

Coming up at POP! Festival: a joint exhibition "Re-Seen & Unseen" by two of #WestLondon's most exciting artists: Aleksandra Zareba Zeltsch & Brian Okello aka Bambookidd. The exhibition will run Wed 4- Sun 8 March 2020, 12-6pm at @muse_at_269
Unseen by Brian Okello (@bambookidd_) conveys his introspective ideas on the urban landscape and the characteristics of a community interacting under the #Westway. Unseen celebrates what is seen whilst uncovering what’s beneath and unseen. His ideas are informed by social commentary and spontaneous responses to his environment, transformed through illustration and graphic art.

Re-seen by Aleksandra Zareba Zeltsch (@minimondo_studio) is a visual journey to rediscover the place that became her new home five years ago, to recapture the wonder that got lost in time and to reignite her emotional connection. Her process evolves through the historical path of art creation by progressing from hand-drawn sketches to photography and digital painting.
