On May 15, Antonin unveiled his second album Bleus — a title that says it all: a colour, a state of mind. Known as the indispensable bassist of Papooz and collaborator with Polo & Pan, he now steps fully into his own. Following a critically acclaimed debut (En Silence), Bleus is an elegant city blues somewhere between twilight pop and weightless French chanson, produced by Adrien Durand of Bon Voyage Organisation. Catch his magnetic performance at the Bus Palladium.

Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin is the first solo exhibition by poet, DJ, and artist James Massiah. Presenting a series of text based works extracted from a single poem, the show is inspired by a scene from Hanna-Barbera’s religious animation “The Greatest Adventure; Daniel and the Lion’s Den”. Massiah’s practice seeps between poetry, music, community and nightlife. His personal history, rooted in the Seventh Day Adventist Church, has brought a continual contemplation of self, challenge, rebellion and a seeking to understand the line where the moral and amoral meet. We opened the doors to “Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin”, the first solo exhibition by James Massiah, and the response was electric. Inside, the walls spoke in scripture. Outside, the crowd listened—then read, then reacted.
