Event

Between 16th -20th June 2024, we will be hosting New Orleans' very own Michelle N Gibson. Michelle N Gibson is a choreographer, cultural ambassador, educator and performing artist.

Michelle N Gibson is a consummate storyteller, employing body and mind to build a bridge between the arts and academia. Her teaching and chorographic practice comprise genres of the African Diaspora, Contemporary Afro Modern, Afro Funk, Jazz, and her own New Orleans Second Line Aesthetic. Michelle N Gibson's 'The New Orleans Original BuckShop' engages communities and participants in the culture and Diasporic traditions of Black New Orleans - as it pertains to the rooted history of the city, through dance, language, art and music.

As part of this Residency, we will be hosting a lunchtime Performance Lecture by Michelle N Gibson. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet the resident artist and experience her practice and process.

Laku Artist Talk with Joshua Donkor
Yard Talk

Greetings Laku family,

We're honoured to invite you to the virtual yard as we hold space for young portrait artist Joshua Donkor.

Joshua is a painter of Ghanaian and British heritage exploring Black identities as they exist in-between cultures and families - subverting homogenous narratives.

 

"My goal is to tell people's individual stories."

 

Good things happen when we get together!

Looking forward to seeing you in the laku!
