Join artist Joshua Whitaker for a captivating and thought-provoking talk/performance titled "Acid History - Into the Silver Screen". Taking place at the prestigious Hellenic Centre in London, this event is a unique opportunity to delve into Whitaker's innovative work developed during his time as Arts Researcher in Residence at The British School at Athens (BSA), in partnership with Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges of Arts at University of the Arts London.

Whitaker will delve into the profound influence of the BSA's archive, library, and laboratory on his artistic practice. Drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as Walter Benjamin's concept of 'Left Melancholy', religious icons, Amiri Baraka's exploration of time in his short story 'Rhythm Travel', Etel Adnan's poetry, the Delphic Oracle, and Pier Paolo Pasolini's script for 'San Paolo', Whitaker will present his concept of 'Acid History'.

Through the lens of film photography and music, Whitaker will explore how to reimagine history as 'Acid' in nature, challenging traditional narratives and offering a fresh perspective on the past. By doing so, he aims to spark a radical rethinking of our current socio-political climate, envisioning a future that transcends neoliberal politics.

Don't miss this captivating event, where you'll have the opportunity to explore new horizons and challenge conventional notions of history. Please note that the event has limited capacity, so make sure to join the waiting list for a chance to secure your ticket.
