This October, you are invited by the John Hansard Gallery to experience work by artists Sonia Boué and Ashokkumar D Mistry.

Join us to watch Ashokkumar D Mistry's iteration of A Banquet of Tables (For a Feast for Los Niños), a group performance that transforms tables into musical instruments which are played in the Txalapatra tradition-a Basque xylophone-inspired musical style.

Titled Las Gemelas: Arrival (a lexicon of unmaking), the exhibition explores the arrival of almost 4,000 Basque child refugees that docked in Southampton on 23rd May 1937 upon the SS Habana ship, as a consequence of the Spanish Civil War. The children were subsequently billeted in colonies throughout the UK until it was deemed safe to return, though this was uncertain. Over two hundred Basque children settled permanently and lived out their adult lives on these shores.
