NOV 1: DOING CREATIVE WORK FROM YOUR POLITICAL BODY — a likkle collaboration with Free Practice incoming (tix via bio/eventbrite)
On Sunday, Nov.1 we’re looking forward to inviting you into Helm Studios for an intimate evening of poetry and conversation in support of our dear friend, Myriam D. Diatta, who released an incredible book for creative practitioners earlier this year!
If you’ve seen what our bredrin and fellow TB astronaut, Rohan Ayinde, has been doing over at GoHub studios with Free Practice, then you know this will be a beautiful evening of poetry, dialogue and stimulating conversation.
The evening starts with a three poet cypher featuring Victoria Adukwei Bulley, Amarachi Rachel Nwokoro and Rohan Ayinde.
Then Myriam hosts a conversation using her book, Doing Creative Work From Your Political Body, to both frame the night’s performances and introduce its methodology; developed for artists looking to close the gap between their creative work and political convictions!
Curated by @alexritaa and @rohanayinde
Myriam D. Diatta is a designer and independent scholar whose practice focuses on the interior at the intersection of politically engaged work and creative knowledge production. Black-Asian and Japanese-Diola, her political and creative foundations were nurtured in New York City. She is currently based in Aarhus, Denmark.
Her work spans design, teaching, facilitation, consulting and research across disciplines and sectors. Her practice has been recognised internationally through grants, scholarships and memberships, including NEW INC at the New Museum, Wonderlab at Monash Art, Design and Architecture, and the Nordic Culture Fund. She has taught at Parsons School of Design and Pratt Institute, and holds a doctorate in Design Research from Monash University, Melbourne, and an MFA in Transdisciplinary Design from The New School, New York City.

Errol (@errol.and) and Alex Rita (@AlexRitaa)—the DJing, curatorial duo and co-founders of @Touching_Bass—are the fourth faces of CLASH 134.
As Touching Bass turns ten, the pair reflect on the impact of a mission that has grown far beyond its South London origins. What began on a sweaty, Senegalese restaurant dancefloor has slow-cooked into a true musical movement: a principled club night, NTS Radio staple, award-nominated record label and concert series.
This year moves the needle further via a self-produced world tour. Still committed to their foundations, yet magnetically engaged with the future, they celebrate a decade of life’s work with their dedicated now-global network.
In conversation with CLASH, Errol and Alex Rita take stock of how their evolving individual practices have established them as go-to curators at the intersection of music, contemporary art and culture. Meanwhile, a shared commitment to intention, storytelling and close-knit friendship has nurtured the creative ecosystem around them—all while navigating parenthood.
They tell CLASH: “It’s us and the nucleus of our strong friendship group, which remains pretty much identical to when we started. That’s really important. We are all our own compasses.”
In association with New Balance.

I’m honestly elated and humbled to announce that I’ll be bringing @CalmRoots Live to Chicago next Sunday, June 14 at @blancgallerychicago.
A dream to make it happen in collaboration with one of my favourite labels @intlanthem and Sonorous Somatics.
The evening will feature the incredible Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist and poet Tomin (IARC), alongside Chicago flutist and producer BSA Gold, whose practices both bridge acoustic instrumentation with expansive, spiritual and exploratory approaches to sound. Lastly I’ll be joined by my brother and longtime collaborator, poet and artist, Rohan Ayinde (LDN).
The 11th edition of ‘Sonorous Somatics: The Worlds Beyond’, is in conversation with our most recent exhibition, FROM MEMORY TO MOVEMENT: EMMETT AT 85, which explores the lasting and powerful legacy of Emmett Till not only as an act of remembrance, but as a call towards collective reflection and continued movement.
There will be food and non-alcoholic drinks on site for sale too.
To find out more about everyone involved and to get your tickets, follow the link in bio.
Tickets are $15 or Pay what you can for Low/No waged folk.
Can’t wait to share, see and listen together.

8 weeks ago Errol and I were invited to curate a live performance for @whitecube during Frieze week (@friezeofficial) in response to the incredible human an artist that is @ibrahimmahama3. It turned out to be our biggest commission yet, and
with equal measure of nerves and excitement we said yes to the invitation and gathered a group of insanely talented artist to write new original music and poetry in direct response to “Lazarus” - the new solo exhibition by Ibrahim at the gallery.
Over the course of those 8 weeks everyone’s confidence and ambitions grew and the commission turned into much more than a live performance. (More on that soon!)
Made with so much love and attention our dear friends: Anais (@hotcocoacartel), @BrotherPortrait, @yahaelco , @SonziGuitarist and @jalikora, created a whole new passage of work bonded by their shared West African heritage 🇳🇬 🇸🇳 🇸🇱 🇬🇲 🇲🇱.
Anaiis and Brother Portrait — we know every word and melody was created in your hearts and we’re so grateful for that. Yahael, Sonzi and Jali — you three became such a sturdy bedrock for the words to unfold on and live. You are all magicians and we are so honoured to have worked with you all on this.
Also ngl, both Errol and were very nervous/anxious/exhausted the days up to the performance- having stepped out of our comfort zone for this: curating, styling as well as producing, it made all of the different elements coming together so extra sweet❤️
Thank you so much to White Cube, @cecily.bates (💓) and @jayjopling for allowing our minds to wander and granting us the kind of creative freedom that we feel Ibrahim and his work deserves. @ibrahimmahama3, meeting you felt like meeting a real life superhero and we have all been insanely inspired by not only your work as an artist, but your vision of creating new realities for your community, country and the world in such a mind-expanding way. Thank you for trusting us, we have all taken so much away from this!
Lastly I’d like to say thank you to @lewisdaltongilbert for seeing us, @sofialoooop for the sound✨, and our brother @olubiyithomas for dressing everyone for the performance 🍒👌🏽

Bringing @CalmRoots to Naarm/Melbourne this week — limited tickets available now via RA.
I’ve invited one of the sweetest, my dear friend Kuzich (@kztheboogieman) and harpist Freedom Fly (@babyfrdmfly) to summon the restful spirits with me. We will be gathering at the beautiful High Note, my favourite place in town❤️
Thank you immensely to @HighNote_____ and @CrownRuler for helping me make it happen. Naarm has a special place in my heart, so sharing from it in this way means so much.
