Friday: Launch Party + Q&A
Sunday: Exhibition Only (exhibition closes at 4pm, please arrive before 3.30pm to avoid disappointment. The bar will be open until 11pm).
The exhibition will profile some of the most vibrant and exciting subcultures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from the 1970s Soviet Hippies movement through to the inception of Berlin techno in the early 90s, Ibiza through the years and the ongoing development of the UK’s rich club scene (of course featuring our very own Ministry of Sound).
Ourhistory began in 2008 with an exhibition celebrating 20 years of acid house. Originally launched at the London/Newcastle project space on Shoreditch’s Redchurch Street, it quickly moved to London’s Selfridges, before travelling onto IMS Ibiza, Tokyo, Berlin and Shanghai. Curated by Red Gallery founder Ernesto Leal, the exhibition will profile a series of global cultural phenomenons, with archived photographs provide by OurHistory from published works to never before seen pieces from private collections.
