Imagining the Impossible: Creativity in a time of Crisis
Artist Es Devlin, fashion designer Priya Ahluwalia and musician GAIKA join photographer and filmmaker Alice Aedy to discuss the power of storytelling and creating in a time of climate destruction.
Artist Es Devlin creates large-scale installations that combine light, music and language. She has created some of the most renowned stage sculptures and her work has been displayed in Trafalgar Square, the V&A, Serpentine Gallery and MET Museum.
Priya Ahluwalia is a designer and founder of her namesake brand AHLUWALIA. She draws inspiration from her Indian-Nigerian heritage and crafts her collections from vintage and dead stock materials.
GAIKA is a multidisciplinary artist, whose work encompasses experimental rap, producing, writing, and visual art. His latest release, War Island OST, focuses on London’s cityscape and geopolitical position.
