Join Whitechapel Gallery’s youth collective, Duchamp & Sons, for a specially programmed night celebrating their current exhibition Moving Grounds: 15 Years of Duchamp & Sons.
Inspired by one of the lines of Duchamp & Sons’ manifesto – ‘we meet, we talk, we eat’ – this collaboratively curated event will be a space for connecting with others, exchanging ideas, and getting creative.
Through interactive activities dotted throughout the galleries, Duchamp & Sons have created an environment all about finding our commonalities and exploring our collective histories.
Free, drop in, and suitable for all ages.
