Art Knights celebrates the life and legacy of Sir Horace Ové CBE (1936-2023): the Trinidadian-born pioneer who directed Pressure, the first full-length Black British feature film, and who spent forty years photographing Black British life and the birth of Notting Hill Carnival. Returning his work to Camden, this free event gathers a rare selection of his films with an exhibition of his photography, including the Black Power images he made at the Roundhouse in 1967, and culminates in the premiere of Late Knight Anamnesis, a new three-screen installation made in tribute to him by his son, the filmmaker Kaz Ové. Alongside Horace's photographs, the exhibition features a small selection of works by contemporary legacy artists shaped by his example. The evening closes with a panel of these artists reflecting on his influence on Camden and on generations of Black British image-makers.

A choreographic meditation on hanging out. Hanging in the air. Hanging in there. Hanging by rope. Hanging braids off the nape of the neck. Hanging on to life. Hanging by a thread. Hanging bodies. Duration. Divination. Invocation. Congregation. Haunting.

Building upon Marikiscrycrycry's decade-long practice of motorising otherwise fatalistic and marginal perspectives, Hang Time engages an emergent mode of creation that is at once genre-defying and spiritually itinerant.

Suspended between bouyon and soca, séance, ritual, social gathering, and catastrophe, the work transforms hanging into a social, historical, choreographic, and metaphysical condition. Through states of endurance, collapse, congregation, and reverberation, Hang Time listens to the gulf in order to sense what remains suspended in the air after disappearance.

Hang Time by Marikiscrycrycry
