Sampha X Frieze

Watch the London musician as he prepares to bring a Frieze Music performance to the Collectors’ Dinner.‘When it’s a more intimate setting,’ says musician Sampha of his performances, ‘I feel a bit more free, and that there’s a little bit more room to experiment or try something new.’

This video tracks the London-born musician at an after-hours Frieze London, as he prepares to perform a surprise set at the Collectors’ Dinner – taking the BMW-supported Frieze Music inside the fair for the first time. As Sampha strolls around the now-empty fair, he talks about his admiration for artists Kerry James Marshall, whom his collaborator Kahlil Joseph ‘reintroduced’ him to. Sampha takes inspiration from visual arts, including frieze magazine, when he’s writing music – always looking for new creative paths.

‘One of the songs I’m gonna play is off my album Lahai – “Spirit 2.0” – but I’ve tried to change it a bit,’ he says, coming at the song ‘from a different angle.’ Something that Frieze London and Sampha share: a love of innovation.

Frieze x Deutsche Bank Emerging Curators Fellowship

In this video, four of the particpants in the Frieze x Deutsche Bank Emerging Curators Fellowship explain why the programme – which Casely-Hayford describes as ‘one of the few initiatives making real strides in curatorial diversity’ – has been so vital for them.

The fellowship, which supports Black and global majority heritage curators through 12-month, full-time, paid placements within leading arts organizations, was established in 2020 amid the Covid pandemic and a time of self-reflection on the part of UK museums and galleries.
