In this work, Giuseppi collaborates with 'La Manzana Mayor/La Manzana Tropical' to conceive a theatrical rendering, reflective of the orchestra's songs', their content, context and emotional landscapes.

The work joins a history of exploring ideas of afro-indigenous futurism and fictioning. Within his practice, Giuseppi explores the history of Salsa music and Latin culture in London, tracing the history of these cultural spaces and identifying how partying (and these spaces) can be politicised through the performance of Black/indigenous migration.

Attendees are requested to wear an item of baby blue clothing to the party.
