Programme
Performance: gadzi guru
East Tank & Turbine Hall, Level 0

Turbine Hall, Level 0
20.30-21.30
Hailing from Peckham via Leeds, Bradley Zero has steadily become the tastemaker of his generation. As founder of Rhythm Section and co-founder of Jumbi, Bradley has carved out a unique role for himself within the vibrant London music scene.
Music: Charisse C
Terrace Bar, Blavatnik Building, Level 1
18.00-21.30
Join Abantu founder and curator Charisse C and special guests for an evening of music, storytelling and live performance inspired by nora chipaumire's gadzi.
Rooted in Abantu's commitment to Southern Africa and meaningful cultural exchange, the programme brings together Zimbabwean artists working across generations, bridging ancestral knowledge and contemporary explorations. Inviting audiences to experience the music, not only as entertainment, but as a living archive carrying stories between past, present and future.
The Terrace Bar will be transformed through a programme of live music, vocal performance and DJ sets from Charisse C, Shumba Maasai, Sekuru, Captain Lulaz and more.
Performance: Synaptic Architecture
Blavatnik Building, Level 2
18.00-21.30
Hear from the next generation of sound artists at this experimental live-performance showcase. Encounter short performances, DJ sets and sensory installations throughout the night. Programmed with TheGRIN.io
This showcase is developed by students from the Royal College of Art’s N.O.I.S.E. programme, whose practices span sound, moving image, creative coding, installation, performance, interactive design and audio-visual experimentation.
Through a series of interconnected projects, the artists collectively transform the space into a sensory ecosystem of signals, responses, and relationships. At its core, Synaptic Architecture examines the invisible networks that connect bodies, technologies, environments, and communities.
