CATUES 24 MARCH, 7PM: LEE SCRATCH PERRY BLACK ARK - BOOK LAUNCH
OTO hosts the launch of Black Ark, presented with Edition Patrick Frey, centred on Lee Scratch Perry’s Black Ark Studios in Kingston, Jamaica.
The evening will begin with a panel discussion featuring Martine Rose, Marc Asekhame, David Katz, and Chris Peckings, moderated by Canan Batur.
Following the panel, Katz will guide a listening session that traces the book’s visual archive to music. This session will showcase significant Black Ark productions, elusive original vinyl from Lee Scratch Perry, and various archival materials. Highsteppers and Canan Batur will then present a sonic response to round out the night.
Exclusive copies of Black Ark will be available in the OTO bookshop.
