PREVIEWS Lura FESTIVAL Africa Oyé Sefton Park – 16/06-17/06 The ever-progressive AFRICA OYÉ is once again leading the way with a gender-balanced line-up that includes a number of brilliant solo female artists this year. Cape Verde’s LURA and Senegalese singer-songwriter MAREMA will join renowned Kora player SONA JOBARTEH for the Sefton Park cultural summit. Jamaican reggae legends INNER CIRCLE, Grammy-nominee ROCKY DAWUNI and popular Guinea-Bissau singer BINHAN have also been announced. Two local musicians, REMÉE and NELSON, will open the stage on consecutive days as part of Oyé Introduces. Representing the vibrant local future RnB and hip hop scenes respectively, Remée and Nelson are two artists who are sure to open the fesival days on a hugely positive note. Since it began in 1992 as a series of gigs around the city, Africa Oyé has blossomed into one of Liverpool’s most-loved festivals. With food stalls that take your taste buds on a mouth-watering journey across the world and international artists that reveal the wonderfully diverse nature of music from the African and Caribbean diaspora, it’s not hard to see why. The festival began as a means of countering the negative perception of Africa in the media, and is now the largest free celebration of African and Caribbean music and culture in the UK. Music is at the heart of Oyé and showcasing both up-and-coming and established artists is integral to the festival’s ethos. Through their Oyé Introduces initiative, the festival gives young, local musicians the chance to perform in front of crowds reaching 50,000 people with the likes of XamVolo and NuTribe making the most of the opportunity in previous years. After the huge success of last year’s 25th anniversary celebrations, which saw record-breaking crowds at the Aigburth account, the 2018 edition of the event looks to follow in the feel-good vibes. With such an exciting programme of free music planned, Africa Oyé retains its reputation as an inclusive festival for all. The knowledge that this is a sizeable festival, which could easily charge a ticket price, creates a happy and grateful crowd. After 26 years, Oyé is undoubtedly a highlight of Liverpool’s festival calendar. The anticipation of summer, international line-up and embrace of multiculturalism makes this late-weekend in June near impossible to beat. EXHIBITION Life In Motion: Egon Schiele/ Francesca Woodman Tate Liverpool – 24/05-23/09 Egon Schiele, Self Portrait in Crouching Position 1913 Radical Austrian expressionist EGON SCHIELE and American photographer FRANCESCA WOODMAN may have worked at opposite ends of the 20th Century, but when their nude portraits and self-portraits sit side-by-side they tell a similar story. Both artists sought to create unapologetically intimate works that exposed the emotional, expressive nature of the human body. They also both capture moments in time, with physical movement and emotions in flux represented with expressive brush lines and long exposure blurred images respectively. Pairing Schiele and Woodman together, Tate Liverpool have not only demonstrated the former’s influence over myriad artistic eras, but also presented themes that will remain relevant to any audience. Life In Motion is a rare treat for art lovers as it brings more than 100 of Schiele’s drawings and Woodman’s sensational photographs to Liverpool and, once again, displays the work of an Austrian master in the North of England. Visitors will be reminded of the momentous exhibition 10 years ago of Gustav Klimt’s seminal portraits at the Albert Dock gallery for the Capital Of Culture year. A decade on, this is a fitting way to mark Tate’s 30-year anniversary. Coming out of the fertile art scene of Vienna in the early 20th Century, a period when intellectual heavyweights such as Franz Schubert and Sigmund Freud frequented the cafés of the Austrian capital, Schiele struggled to make a name for himself as his family shunned his artistic ambitions. However, Klimt became an early champion of his work and was buoyed by the Vienna Secession movement, a group of forward-thinking artists who broke with tradition to create new and exciting styles. With a similar focus on nudes and the human form, Woodman looked to artists of the Italian renaissance as the Denver native spent many of her summers in Italy. The 60s and 70s was an important period for photography as the discipline was getting greater regard as a form of artistic expression. Woodman was prolific and produced over 800 works in her short career, which tragically came to an end when the artist committed suicide in 1981. Life In Motion provides a powerful insight into the lives and works of two exceptional artists and makes for an intense viewing experience. 30
