Harlesden High Street

15 October - 30 November, 2022

Two Day Sound System is a group exhibition reflecting the cultural and aesthetic legacies of a recent installation by a group of artists in Notting Hill Carnival.

The exhibition transforms the space into a re-imagined rendition of the installations at NHC from the perspectives of artists living and working in the borough by bringing home the intervened works and also video documentation of the day. The exhibition celebrates the ways in which music culture was and is a means for making home, and for finding community and connection across cultures and generations.

The skins were viewable during Notting Hill Carnival at 120 Talbot Road on 28th-29th of August. Image courtesy Harlesden High Street
