About

Elijah is a writer, DJ, and lecturer with 15 years in the independent music and culture scene in London. His learning from running a Grime label, managing artists and being an artistic director and cultural documenter are distilled across his project the ‘Yellow Squares’ a short form notes project on Instagram. Elijah has shared over 1000 ‘Yellow Squares’ on creativity, music scenes, the future of social media, and the culture industry over the last 3 years, and has compiled the best of those in his debut book ‘Close The App, Make The Ting’.

Elijah’s presentation will take you through the journey of the project, the creative process, the ideas in it, and why he’s working towards ‘completing’ the project. There will be an extensive live Q&A covering all his recent topics, like why ‘rent is the creative director’, and why ‘if you love music, you should learn how to DJ’, and ‘what artists can learn from pro wrestling’ and ‘an optimistic take on the next five years in Black British Culture’.

Over the last three years he’s lectured in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, The Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, India, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Ireland, Turkey, The Netherlands, Estonia, the USA and across the UK. He’s released an album with Grime MC Jammz, written for The Guardian, The Face, guest edited Resident Advisor, created visual installations and launched grant funds for creatives globally.

Personalised signing of the book and album will be available at the event.

Doors open at 6.30pm

Talk starts at 7.30pm
