Looking for a Sunday afternoon vibe? We’ve got you covered. Ori is the Yoruba word used to describe the vessel that is able to process conscious thought, or in other words, the soul. Orii is the biggest freestyle jazz night, that enables the best musicians and artists in London town to connect in carefully curated sonic spaces. Orii is also a platform for new artists to perform, engage, and inhabit their true Orii. Run by the artist Neue Grafik, this session is about love, sharing and caring. Closing IT2023, we’ll be joined by the Orii Jam crew, for the ultimate live jazz session.
