Friday Live: Justin Caguiat
Join us for an evening of film, performances and readings as part of Justin Caguiat: Change Ringing.
Held in a 19th-century Victorian Gothic Revival church, the event brings together a programme of 16mm films, live performances and readings in dialogue with the symbolic qualities of devotional architecture.
The programme features a rare in-person reading of a new text by cult American author Dodie Bellamy, commissioned in response to the exhibition, as well as a live bell performance by Caguiat’s collaborator, the London-based composer Lily Pickett, accompanying the artist’s new film The Neophyte (2026). ‘Visual music’ animations by pioneering German filmmaker and painter Oskar Fischinger (1900–1967) will be screened alongside films by Owen Land and Stuart Pound.
Conceived in close collaboration with Justin Caguiat, the event expands on themes explored in the exhibition, including architecture, memory and the transformative qualities of sound.
Further details will be announced soon.
Curated by Natalia Grabowska, Curator at Large, Architecture and Site-specific Projects and Dominik Czechowski, Curator, Live Programmes, with Alexa Chow, Assistant Exhibitions Curator. Produced by Lucia Fortune-Ely, Producer, Live Programmes.
Raleigh Chapel is a functioning Victorian church in Stoke Newington, London. A space for sound, art and faith, its interior combines original brickwork, arched windows and historic features. Designed by architect John Sulman and consecrated in 1880, the church was originally conceived as both a chapel and a civic hall. Over the following century, the building survived bombing during the Blitz and a devastating fire in 1989 that left only the outer walls standing, their bricks still marked by smoke and flame.
This distinctive and intimate space now serves as an independent home for spiritual, cultural and community life, welcoming a wide range of artistic activities, events and gatherings in Hackney.
