Genre-bending and carefully curated, art, sound, and heritage blend to celebrate the magic of Afrodiasporic culture. This sound installation explores artistic cultural connectivity and dis/re-placement in an increasingly globalized world.

London-born composer Marisse Cato collaborates with National Trust Home 575 Wandsworth Road for a bespoke, multi-genre, spatialised sound exhibition.

Inspired by the Afro-diasporic heritage of the late Khadambi Asalache’s highly curated home, her sound installation comprises of 4 electronic speakers positioned around the house playing constituent parts of an overall work. Drawing on different genres, multicultural visual narratives, motifs and carvings of the home’s interior are sonically reimagined.

Explore intersubjectivities between supposed cultural monoliths portrayed in perpetual creative dialogues. She offers a microcosm wherein creativity truly thrives. This installation spotlights the subjective “in-betweenness", allowing visitors to explore the fusion of sonic elements across genres, cultures, and people.
