We are excited to host the second in the Transition Culture Series, an art salon hosted by curator and editor-at-large at STATE-F22, Michael Barnett. The evening will begin with a welcome drink while you chat with fellow Upstairs members. Michael will then be joined by guest speakers from the creative world, each speaking passionately about their industry, giving us an insightful look into their world.

Guest speakers include; Dawn Parsonage, an artist, photographer and comedian, Chapeau Claudette, a London based milliner and Nina Caspari, a film director, photographer and costume designer. The speakers will present and discuss their work in relation to the theme; Boring Is The New Flamboyant. The talks will include a Q&A session.

The evening will conclude with an inspiring performance by Key Misst, a soul singer, song writer and producer from South London.

Members are welcome to bring one guest.
