Pop-Up Performance: Soundtrack to the City  photo
Come along and spend time with Kemi Sulola, a musician and singer-songwriter known for working across Soul, RnB, reggae and hip-hop.  

As a family come along to be inspired by sounds of your city and ideas within the V&A’s Design 1900-Now collection, to create soundtracks for city living,  

Create sounds using unexpected-everyday objects which you will use as instruments to layer up, like an orchestra, with other families sounds. Each session families will record a song together to be played as a new soundtrack for our future city.  

Sessions start at 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00. Each session is approximately 45 minutes.
