First Thursday Lates: Music Night with Gusty Ferro and Joseph Ijoyemi

An afterhours chance to explore this year’s East London Art Prize Shortlist Exhibition (6pm-9pm) alongside two exclusive live music performances by exhibiting artists Gusty Ferro and Joseph Ijoyemi.

Bow Art’s East London Art Prize celebrates the talent and diversity of art made by east London artists. This exhibition will present 12 incredible artworks shortlisted for the second iteration of the Prize. Read more about the exhibition here.

For this special late opening, Gusty Ferro will be activating their shortlisted installation Untitled (2024-2025) by dismantling and assembling elements of the work. Using contact mics and electronic devices, the interactions with the materials in displacement will create live soundscapes. The performance will explore notions of tension between the body, objects, and the physical infrastructure that surrounds us in the city.

Building on from his shortlisted work Revival Boats (2023) for his live performance, Joseph will be performing Fragments(2025) live, a sound piece featuring recordings from his recent journey to Ondo, Nigeria, where he worked closely with traditional goldsmiths and blacksmiths. Drawing on the authentic sounds and conversations Joseph documented, the performance will serve both as a tribute and a living archive, invoking the importance of remembering ones roots and honouring cultural legacies passed through generations.

The Nunnery Café will be open for the duration of the evening, serving drinks and a range of tasty snacks and refreshments.

Please note, the performances will take place between 7-8pm in the Nunnery Gallery.
