This event is curated in collaboration with SOUNDS LiKE CHAOS

SOUNDS LiKE CHAOS is a youth arts collective based in Lewisham, made up of 13 – 25-year-olds from diverse backgrounds, with the ideas, skills and perspectives the cultural and creative industries desperately need. Their work crosses genres, making original theatre and performance, music and sound art, fashion, film, performance, youth-led research and podcasts.

This summer, we’re collaborating with a range of London-based collectives and organisations to curate the Riverside Stage in response to the theme of our season, You Belong Here, enabling these collaborators to welcome different audiences and recognise how they want and choose to belong here at the Southbank Centre.
