Jasleen Kaur + Onyeka Igwe
Somerset House, Lancaster Rooms, New Wing, WC2R 1LA , [Venue Details]Kaur and Igwe present their first-ever performance works, reflecting on how history, political and social structures are experienced and contested.
Jasleen Kaur: Supra
Supra is a new commission by Jasleen Kaur, the Turner Prize-winning artist’s first performance work, which brings together a group of musicians in an ensemble encompassing vocals, dilruba, and trumpet. The systems and structures we live in and feel through are characterised through the performers, with each instrumentalist taking the role of a structure — border, Nation State, belief, and body.
Supra plays with the blurring of harmonic consonance and discordance to synthesise how intimate lives are shaped and marred by these wider forces. The work’s tonal tension and collaged arrangement symbolise how events happening elsewhere reverberate both on a macro level – within public societal structures – and on a micro level, within the intimacy of our domestic lives and personal relationships.
Developed in collaboration with vocal practitioner Marged Siôn, the live performance of Supra will form a recorded score for Kaur's installation as part of the 59th Carnegie International at Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, in May 2026.
Ensemble:
Gurleen Singh - Dilruba and vocals
Devin Brown - Trumpet
Marged Siôn - Musical collaborator and vocals
