About the artists…

indian man

Indian Man takes Bhangra Fusion to a whole new level, known for turning the Boogie Round Stage at Port Eliot Festival into a Bhangra dance frenzy!

He captures the crowd by teaching them Punjabi dance moves and fusion filled grooves, absorbing the soundscape of every place he visits. Since returning from his WOMAD resident DJ tour of Chile, Gran Canaria and the UK, he is constantly on the move playing festivals worldwide. Whether that’s rocking Shangri La at Glastonbury or Jai Ho in the New Orleans underground, Indian Man brings you the finest world fusions of electronica and unique musical inspiration from all corners of the globe.

Rosa Carless

A versatile dancer of many styles, with roots as a Bgirl.

Growing up in rural Wales, there wasn’t much exposure to breakdancing. It wasn’t until moving to London in the early 2000’s that Rosa saw the amazing energy of Breakin and streetdance. Rosa knew instantly this was a scene she wanted to be apart of. Through hard training, Rosa was eventually invited to join different street crews and went on to enter in hiphop battle nights.

Rosa still makes sure to honour hiphop culture through research, so can tell the history and struggle that gave birth to the most popular trends we have in our society today. Having performed with her crew at many events and shows, Rosa is sure to thrill at CV Sounds

cHILA KUMARI SINGH BURMAN

Compton Verney is excited to present a new solo exhibition by one of the leading contemporary artists working in the UK today – Chila Kumari Singh Burman MBE (b.1957).

Opening in autumn, the exhibition will present new and recent neon and sculptural works which have not been shown before, alongside earlier prints, collages and films. The works encompass a 40-year period in which Burman has explored her Punjabi cultural identity, feminism, and working class Liverpudlian upbringing, amongst other themes.

A large-scale intervention across the façade of the house, comprised of Burman’s signature neons, will accompany the exhibition.
