Nine Nights X Tatale Supper Club [private]

Nine Nights x Tatale host a special secret supper club for the closing weekend of the Channel B exhibition on Saturday 29th January 2022.

We invite you to join us between 16:00 - 19:00 to celebrate the end of our four-month residency at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and to thank you for your contribution.

Nine Nights emerged in May 2020 to counter the systemic racial inequalities of the global music industry by exploring new modes of artistic empowerment. Founded in response to the persistent undervaluing of Black people, the growing protest movement, and the current pandemic’s impact on nightlife and live music, Nine Nights has one purpose – to support Black culture.

Tatale is a restaurant and bar concept created by Akwasi, telling contemporary Pan-African stories through food, art and culture. Born in Ghana and later developed in London, Tatale’s namesake is a pancake made from Plantain — the ubiquitous ingredient found in African Diaspora cuisines right across the world. Akwasi considers it to be the culinary symbol of Blackness. In Spring 2022, Akwasi will be taking Tatale to The Africa Centre where it will become a fully-fledged restaurant.

Inspired by an ethos to highlight Black and diaspora identity, Akwasi will present a three-course Pan-African menu that takes cues from his Ghanaian heritage, as well as exploring the techniques and ingredients that form part of a broader, border-less expression of Blackness. We will be serving punch at the bar made from rum kindly donated by Wray and Nephew, included in the ticket price.

As with each of Akwasi’s non-for-profit supper clubs, guests are asked to bring 2 items of dry or tinned food, which will be donated to a local food bank to help alleviate the effects of food poverty.
