There will also be several one-off interactive performances, with LVRA and Soda Plains set to come together and perform an exclusive debut of their new collaborative project — as well as a performance from South London-based cinematic artist Jianbo, and a multimedia mix of spoken word, crowd-based choreography and performance from Meyy.
Eastern Margins was founded in 2018 as a "home for alternative Asian culture." The group has been a vital part of the community-building movement for East and South Asian communities, which over the years has seen them curate events up and down the country, including a state takeover at Glastonbury.
Tickets will go live via this link on July 25.
