Nu Civilisation Orchestra : The Stuart Hall Project 2026

The pioneering thinker and co-founder of New Left Review is one of the most influential voices in British Cultural Studies. Layered with archival footage and Hall's own reflections, the film explores identity, race, and belonging in a changing world. Hall once remarked, 'When I ask people where they're from, I expect to be told an extremely long story.

' His lifelong exploration of identity finds a powerful counterpart in the shifting musical eras of Miles Davis, performed live to illuminate each chapter of Hall's journey. More than an accompaniment, the Nu Civilisation Orchestra Ensemble's performance becomes an integral part of the experience.

It deepens the film's resonance and creates a vivid dialogue between music, ideas, and cultural change. An AGMP Concerts presentation.
