The tour will start with an introduction which on the importance to the contemporary art scene of the relevance of the exhibitions curated by the Saatchi gallery, with the tour forging links between the exhibition name and the subjects which are explored in it.
Music comes from A Band of Buriers and poetry by William Blake and Tia Azulay performed by Gisele Edwards, Gabby Meadows, Rosalie Jorda.
