Cappo

A legend of the UK Hip-Hop scene coming to Wainsgate for a very special Sunday Session

3-6pm 25.01.2026 - pay as you feel - (suggested £15)

A special Sunday Session taking place in the different spaces of Wainsgate Chapel.

Cappo presents extracts from his recent exhibition entitled CAPStone. This installation will be a physical translation of the concepts and themes found in the critically acclaimed music of this hugely important and influential Nottingham rap artist.

Exploring new possibilities for the alignment of hip hop lyricism with more traditional artistic mediums, CAPStone attempts to reevaluate how music is perceived, contemplated, and represented in contemporary settings by deconstructing the sounds, thoughts, and feelings contained within it.

S.T.A.R.V.E. Performance

S.T.A.R.V.E. invites participants to experience isolation amongst the multitudes as part of an age-old narrative inherited by myriad artists, musicians, poets and authors to highlight the potential of loneliness as catalyst for mental health decline. S.T.A.R.V.E. intertextually engages with multiple artistic movements and eras to helprevise these fundamental elements of the human condition.

 

Extract from Dr Adam de Paor-Evans (Foreword from CAPStone book):

“Those who elect to enter the CAPStone aura — listeners, readers, consumers, the accidental ethnographers who follow a record or a book into its material hinterland — should expect more than mere gratification: a carefully administered intellectual ambush. What awaits is a concatenation of pleasures and demands — the small electric thrill of a bar that rearranges your associative furniture is presented textually, the slow, tactile delight of an object that refuses instant cataloguing, the hermeneutic labour of aligning breath, beat and page — all of which repay concentrated attention with cumulative effect. Bring lungs and fingers; the work both gives and requisitions attention, and in that exchange the treat becomes a lesson in how to listen.”
