When @joycrookes & @peckham.carboot said “secret set?” we said “say less.” 🤝
A true South London girly showing love to her hometown. We love to see it !
Catch her on a main stage but also grabbing pho in Deptford or Peckham.
Joy, you are so loved! x đź’›
In conversation with, Mama.
Here we are, in the midst of my greatest career moment to date. The shape of all my creative paths aligning, briefly like an eclipse. To be in harmony with my family. With my Mother.
The Collective Joy of Listening in Aethos held space for Gigi, for @saintandbirchley and for everyone present to connect. Grateful to you all, I look forward to sharing more from the day and beyond đź–¤

First batch sold out. We’ve released 15 more - get them while you can.
In the meantime, this is Ephraim Chamba, a prominent Zimbabwean broadcaster in the 1960s and early 1970s. Along with other DJs such as Webster Shamu and Hilton Mambo, Chamba was instrumental in the African Service’s airplay of Western rock music in the early 1970s

Fabulous guests at ALEPH ✨
The question we proposed to the participating artists:
As an artist how does your work engage with the infinite (the universal, the eternal) and the immediate (the political, the personal, the present)?

Young hands with beautiful minds in the process of learning and making.
The ability to create is innate within each person, the expression is all that differs.
Thank you @divinesouthgatesmith for taking the time to pour with love as always đź’«
Saint & Birchley x @redeyescreening invites you to “The Collective Joy of Listening” - together, the way the musicians intended. Courtesy of @aethoslondon
​This session explores the music of Zimbabwe between 1975 and 1980. The journey and conversation traces sound, history, and context across a pivotal moment in time.
​Guided by @nigelruwende designer of Saint & Birchley, the afternoon draws from treasured records and the stories behind them - personal, political, and cultural memories that have helped shape the brand’s AW26 collection, releasing in Tokyo later this year.

We were delighted to welcome a fantastic group of 10–11 year olds to our exhibition!
A huge thank you to @st_jamesschool for visiting, and to @hsbc incredible art duo who always go above and beyond to create meaningful experiences.
Emmanuel guided the students through the exhibition, encouraging them to share their thoughts and feelings about the artworks — their insights were inspiring! They then enjoyed a special behind-the-scenes tour of HSBC’s Art Collection with the Global Art Manager, Dan Lancaster.
The day wrapped up with a hands-on workshop led by @divinesouthgatesmith , where they learned about beads and created their very own to take home.
Thank you to everyone involved in this wholesome day full of creativity and curiosity ✨

The Aleph Exhibition is part of our ongoing work with HSBC to provide a platform for artists to give fresh perspectives that challenge and inspire.
Regardless of occupation people need art and art needs people. Here, seemingly opposing worlds collide for an opportunity to share and learn.
Discussions about art practices will continue Thursday 26th Feb with Unyime (@_ultrabasic ) and Tami (@tamisojiakinyemi ).

@mai_ye on replicating Ẹ̀mà (breath) through spray paint.
In Yoruba, Ẹ̀mà primarily means “breath,” “spirit,” “soul,” or “life force” that animates the body. It is considered the divine essence of consciousness.
