Against the vibrant backdrop of the portraiture of Mickalene Thomas a number of our young musicians will be performing their own original music in the Hayward Gallery.

In words from the exhibition, “Mickalene Thomas has become one of the most important image makers celebrating female and LGBTQIA+ empowerment. Her vibrant, large-scale portraits of Black women at rest reclaim space and representation in art history, celebrating love and radical repose.”

Over a year in the works, Singing All About Love is the product of a deep collaboration between the artist and our young people - and a rare opportunity to enjoy live music in dialogue with art.
