For this Season’s specially curated late, creative collective DAYTIMERS present an after-hours programme in dialogue with Hamad Butt: Apprehensions, interweaving sound, space, science, sci-fi, faith, and contemporary South Asian creative expression.
Inspired by Butt’s work, the collective will transform the gallery into a place for multidisciplinary creative experiments, spotlighting South Asian artists exploring resonant themes including intersectional identities, healthcare inequalities, and the diasporic experience through art, live music, workshops, talks, poetry and more.
Founded in 2020, DAYTIMERS is a creative collective born via the internet, in the midst of a global pandemic-induced lockdown. Having started as a way to carry on the message of the daytime parties of the 80s and 90s (in which DAYTIMERS get their name) – where young British Asians skipped school to dance to bhangra, garage, and jungle in community spaces.
The full programme will be announced soon.
Entry is free, but please RSVP using the booking link to let us know you’re coming!

Founded in 2020, DAYTIMERS is a creative collective born via the internet, in the midst of a global pandemic-induced lockdown. Having started as a way to carry on the message of the daytime parties of the 80s and 90s (in which DAYTIMERS get their name) – where young British Asians skipped school to dance to bhangra, garage, and jungle in community spaces.
DAYTIMERS is now at the forefront of something fresh and exciting, showing the power of a community and its collective energy by championing the UK’s South Asian diaspora, extending far beyond the subcontinent alone. With sold-out shows across the country, DAYTIMERS have created a dent in a space that needs it by supplying ongoing fresh talent, styles, and sounds. By engaging in community events, streams, radio shows, releases, fundraisers and festivals DAYTIMERS are always looking at ways they can continue to push their message and uplift South Asian artistry, not just in nightlife but outside of it as well.
Previous collaborations include working with the Royal Albert Hall, Somerset House, Jazz Cafe, Roundhouse, the V&A, Fabric, and Horniman Museum,(add some more non- London focused things e.g Brighter Sounds? + also self-led grassroots tings) among many other offerings they’ve produced that everyone can attend and participate in.
