Framed In Perspective

A window into a world of rhythm, sound, expression and colour. Intertwined into a tapestry of multi disciplinary expression transmuted through dance, music and theater.

This event strives to unlock imagination, inspire and entice fellow creative minds to take the leap into the world and mind of Taylor Dacosta. This journey will feature the art, music, theatrics and dance developed throughout the life of this young and vibrant creative. Hard at work to bring a new perspective and shed light on a new symbiotic era of creative expression. The power in resilience to express fluid and free ideas in a linear society. And conclusively a chance to frame this current climate of creation in and amidst the Shoreditch side of East London.

With an electrifying dance performance and imagination inducing storytelling. This event will showcase the work and play in this unique time that we all live in. Through the eyes and framed in the perspective of Taylor himself.

This one-of-a-kind event, hosted at BUILDHOLLYWOOD’s 1 Quaker Street in Shoreditch, offers exclusive access to TRY42’s latest project, a venture pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling.

At the heart of the event is the SFS live event series, created by Braulio Chimbembe, the 21-year-old founder of TRY42 and an actor, producer, and rising star in the entertainment industry. The SFS series is designed to foster collaboration and support within the creative community, inspired by the same sharing concept that powered Braulio’s platform to early success.

Voicing Collectives with HuqThat & Palestine Collective

Join us for an inspiring collaborative event as part of the Unbreakable Voices exhibition at BUILDHOLLYWOOD's 1 Quaker Street in Shoreditch, where creative collectives HuqThat and Palestine Collective will activate the space with their unique programming, offering immersive, thought-provoking experiences.

About the Collectives:

HuqThat is an artist collective dedicated to celebrating art, culture, and beauty through the ancient practice of mehndi. At this event, their artists will provide free mehndi services in The Tearoom, where henna will be delicately applied to the skin in forms and texts that express themes of protest and resilience. As meaningful films play in the background, the mehndi designs will become part of your personal expression, creating a lasting impact that you'll carry with you as you leave the exhibition. HuqThat’s work fuses cultural traditions with powerful visual storytelling, offering an intimate, interactive way to engage with the exhibition.

Palestine Collective is a creative community that advocates for justice, support, and peace for Palestine. They organize talks, events, and provide resources that raise awareness for the Palestinian cause. For this event, they will take over The Kitchen with a hands-on workshop inviting attendees to create and respond to the themes of the Unbreakable Voices exhibition. The creations from the workshop will be proudly displayed as part of the exhibition, adding layers of personal expression to the ongoing conversation. Throughout the week, the live installation wall in The Kitchen will remain open, and visitors are encouraged to contribute their thoughts on what resilience means to them.
