Samra Mayanja – THE CALL CENTRE

We are very excited to invite Artist in Residence Samra Mayanja to curate a special edition of THE CALL CENTRE to be co-presented with Newington Green Meeting House.

Curated and hosted by Samra Mayanja, THE CALL CENTRE has become a monthly must-see in London’s Live Art calendar. Initiated in and usually taking place in her studio, Samra has created a framework not only about, but in service to, that difficult task that we engage with every day, which is to speak. To say ourselves and to speak ourselves, and to make the decision with every word and every breath not to hide.

For each CALL CENTRE, Samra invites cross-disciplinary artists and writers to share live work with and alongside her. This framework comes from her impulse to contextualise her own work through the artists whose work she loves.

In this special edition of THE CALL CENTRE  Samra will step out of her 21 seater studio and join the long-line of dissenting voices that have spoken out in the chapel at Newington Green Meeting House.

Joining her will be guest artist Riot who will present ‘the impossible big’.

On Saturday 31 January, the accompanying public workshop SCREAM CHOIR III will take place at the Meeting House, led by Samra and LADA’s Director Mary Osborn.
