SXSW London's exhibitions line-up puts emphasis on art and technology and artists from London's Caribbean diaspora

SXSW London marks the festival's debut in Europe, featuring a strong focus on art alongside its traditional music and tech components. Scheduled for the first week of June, the event will include a visual arts program with London artists, particularly from the Caribbean diaspora, curated by prominent figures like Beth Greenacre and Alex Poots. Patrick Moore emphasizes a commitment to an authentic British representation rather than a direct Austin replication, ensuring that the festival engages deeply with local cultural narratives in the vibrant setting of Shoreditch, London.

"SXSW London aims to distinguish itself by reflecting British culture authentically rather than merely reproducing the Austin experience. This approach emphasizes connecting local artistry to the festival's global foundation."

"The visual arts program, focusing on the intersection of art, music, and technology, spotlights London artists from the Caribbean diaspora, representing a diverse cultural narrative."
