Resonance is a special night of live poetry and music, curated by Otis Mensah.

Throughout the evening, artists from across the UK and Europe will explore core themes of memory, sense-of-self and journeying, including a headline performance from literary and sound artist, and former London Laureate, Belinda Zhawi (MA.MOYO).

They’ll consider how language and sound intersect in live performance and how resonance impacts the sung or spoken word, with a live in-conversation chaired by Sheffield-based artist Ashley Holmes.

The standard ticket price is £10, but as cost can be a barrier for some, there are pay-what-you-can tickets are also available, so that those who need them can attend, paying whatever they can afford to give. Equally, if you are able, you may choose to pay above the standard ticket price to cover the cost of someone else’s ticket.

This event is part of the programme of events complementing Creative Connections Sheffield, at Millennium Gallery until Sunday 2 October. The exhibition showcases portraits of prominent people connected to Sheffield – from pioneers and performers to athletes and artists – presenting works from the National Portrait Gallery and Sheffield’s own collections.
