Studio Crumb Conversations

27 Apr 2024 6.30-10pm

Overview

DJ, broadcaster and writer, Haseeb Iqbal, presents a very special new residency at the Tate Modern, combining in-person interviews with intentional music listening

The Studio Crumb Conversations is the trailblazing Londoner’s newest project as he aims to create a physical manifestation of his eponymous radio show for a crowd to experience.

He will be inviting in a guest of note for each edition and speaking to them about their life, influence and outlook. The conversation will be broken up with music that interweaves with the stories as this Desert Island Discs-inspired evening will also offer the audience a chance to ask any questions they may have.

Iqbal will conclude the evening with a DJ set whilst the crowd are encouraged to dance and relax whilst reflecting on the event’s conversation.

This new residency aims to place focus on intentional engagement and is a truly exciting opportunity to add some context to the culture.
