Rehearsing in the Field is a two-day showcase of works by poets around themes of identity, hope and belonging, all in dialogue with Carrie Mae Weems and her continued practice.
Join us to celebrate the opening of Carrie Mae Weems: Reflections for Now with live poetry performances in the Gallery by six London-based poets. They'll bring to life the themes of Carrie Mae Weems’ work with their live performances of original work, exploring love, hope and identity.
Come along to experience the exhibition activated by this unique joining of voices in space.
