 The Saatchi Gallery and Ministry of Nomads present a rare opportunity to see Nigerian born composer and performance artist Helen Parker-Jayne, of the collective The Venus Bushfires, play a captivating live set accompanied and interpreted by contemporary African dance.

Helen Parker-Jayne is renowned for her immersive performances which bring together wide ranging influences from Avant-garde, psychedelic, tribal and meditative arts to 70s musical pioneers such as Fela Kuti and Can. 
The evening presents an exclusive opportunity to see Helen Parker-Jayne playing the Hang, a Swiss-made PANArt instrument, alongside the percussion, guitar and Pidgin vocals of the Venus Bushfires.
The hour long performance is designed to resonate with Saatchi Gallery’s new exhibition Pangaea: New Art from Africa and Latin America.
