Join us for an intimate and inspiring evening as we welcome acclaimed artist duo KaMag - Maria Magdalena Campos and Kamaal Malik - to London, fresh from their groundbreaking performance at the 36th Bienal de São Paulo.
Celebrated for their genre-defying practice and powerful message of Radical Love, KaMag has captivated audiences with immersive performances at institutions including the Tate Modern and most recently in São Paulo. Now, in the elegant setting of the Supporters' House, they will reflect on their creative journey, artistic influences, and the transformative potential of love as both philosophy and performance.
In conversation with Lee Sharrock, Forbes Arts Correspondent and Editor of Culturalee, this evening promises a thought-provoking exploration of KaMag's collaborative vision and the vital role of art in challenging and healing the world around us. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear directly from one of today’s most compelling artistic voices.
