What music got you through the pandemic? Join us for a conversation with Dr Joy White about culture during COVID at our Future Station talk on Tuesday 2 April at 6pm.

Joy will draw on her latest book ‘Like Lockdown Never Happened’ to consider the ways contemporary Black musical forms helped us to pass the time during the early days of lockdown, operating as a site of connection, identity and social commentary.
