Ongoing Exhibition
Dancing on My Bed (Photo Exhibition)
Dancing on My Bed is a collection of images exploring both the intimacy and the anonymity of the live music experience, from enormous multi-band festivals to private, smaller gigs and quiet backstage areas. Photographer, Cara Stricker emphasises that this isn’t an exhibition of concert photography. “It’s more about closing your eyes and dancing around the room – that moment when you’re just removed from everything.”

Where: The Sugar Mill, Kings Cross
When: 5 November – 11 December
