RA Lates: Deep Earth
Saturday 23 November 2019, 7 – 11pm
Experience nature reinterpreted through earthly interventions, performances and soundscapes across our campus at this epic RA Late.
Taking inspiration from Antony Gormley, Eco-Visionaries and Lucian Freud: The Self Portraits, we explore portrayals of the body and its relationship to nature and the cosmos.
This curated contemporary programme spanning performance art, soundscapes, live music, sculpture, film, installation art and more will takeover the RA’s two-acre campus for one night. Experience botanical landscapes, industrial themed dj sets and spaces exploring the deepest corners of the cosmos.
