More than thirty years ago, SP23 transformed warehouses, fields and abandoned spaces into temporary communities built around sound, freedom and participation.
From 16–19 September, this history comes together at REinsTate - The Tate Institute for the first-ever Spiral Tribe Exhibition in London 🌀
Rare archives, artwork and photography come together with talks, film, creative activities and music, shaped by members of the original crew and contributions from artists, filmmakers and collectives connected to its wider cultural history.
Each day explores a different side of the movement before the programme moves to DISTILLERY N17 for the closing rave on Saturday night 🏴☠️
Swipe through the carousel to explore the daily programme.
Exhibition entry is free, but a ticket is required via Resident Advisor. Those able to contribute can select an optional supporter ticket, helping cover the programme’s costs and support the independent organisations making it possible.
Panel, film and rave tickets are available separately. Full programme and tickets via the link in bio.
