Join us on the 24th September at 7:30pm for a conversation between Ezra-Lloyd Jackson and Amrita Dhallu, exploring how scent and sound carry memories of place and home.

This event emerges from Rose Nordin’s ongoing residency with Brighter Futures, a group of young migrants supported by Praxis and Kazzum Arts. In her residency, Rose is co-creating fragrances and creative materials with the group to examine how scent connects to identity and personal history.

Using Brighter Futures’ collaborative research as a starting point, Ezra and Amrita will share their own practices and discuss how multisensorial experiences evoke memory. Together, they will consider how personal histories link to wider narratives held within sites and materials, and how collective making opens up new ways of sharing these experiences.

Amrita Dhallu is an independent curator, editor and researcher based in the South East of England. She provides support structures for artists through commissioning, editorial projects and creating artistic networks. Working across installation, performance, publishing and aural records, she builds embodied curatorial frameworks that centre polyvocality and collaborative research. She is currently Associate Curator at Grand Union, Birmingham.

Ezra-Lloyd Jackson is a London based artist, practicing between perfumery, scent design, sculpture, painting, graphic design, and music production. Ezra’s scent practice has been very collaborative working with artists such as Anthea Hamilton, Adam Farah-Saad, Julian Knxx, and Rose Nordin, showing at institutions such CA2M Madrid, The ICA, The V&A Museum, and Whitechapel Gallery. Recently he exhibited a new body of sculptural work at the Royal Academy of Music in addition to the perfume collection he created for fragrance house Gabar.
