Beanfeast 2024: Free Activities
Music from acoustic duo Peter + Kerry, words from poet Vera Chok and PRNCSS, a multi-disciplinary artist, producer and DJ.
1pm: Peter + Kerry
An acoustic duo, their first release was recorded in the comfort zone of Peter’s bedroom back at his parents’ house. The EP was ramshackle, familiar and intimate. The chemistry was palpable and between the debut EP and their first full-length album release, their music found its way onto BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, 6Music and XFM, as well as mainstream TV. After a pause on the project the pair have come back together with the release of their new album ‘You, Me and the Moon’.
2pm: Vera Chok
Vera Chok (they/she) is a queer Malaysian-Chinese actor, funny-person, poet and dogmum. Best known as a co-author of The Good Immigrant; Vera wrote the chapter, Yellow, which exploded ideas around “East Asianness”. Vera has been published by The Guardian, Bloomsbury, and Brain Mill Press, and in Rising and Transect magazine, commissioned by The Roundhouse, CNN, WeTransfer, and Hakkasan Group, and funded by The British Council. Their writing has been performed at The Roundhouse, Shakespeare North, Rich Mix, and at Byline, Stoke Newington, Dinefwr, Cambridge, and Bare Lit Festivals. They produce both gently joyful happenings and mischievous, chaotic celebrations to platform historically marginalised groups.
3:30pm: PRNCSS
PRNCSS, a multi-disciplinary artist, producer, and DJ, experimenting with blends from genres such as Afrohouse/Tech, Amapiano, 3 Step, Gqom, and UK Bass in her unique sound. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in Dublin, Ireland, she currently calls the UK home, drawing inspiration from the diverse cultures she has encountered. Her art is a fusion of heavy bass music intertwined with African rhythms, making her a trailblazer in the Afrofuturism music scene.
