The Makers: Live

The Makers at the Barbican

British musician Michael Kiwanuka and celebrated artist Tishk Barzanji have partnered with The Balvenie, for a spoken-word performance.

As individuals who have showcased how they’ve taken something from great to exceptional in their field, guests will be invited to listen to letters penned by Michael, Tishk and other creative allies to their younger selves. 

Celebrating the persistence, dedication and commitment of individuals and their crafts, the event will reveal never-before-shared life tales in a bid to inspire the maker in us all.
