After experiencing the alienation of the often male-dominated jazz world, 24-year-old saxophonist Jemima Whyte plans to use her opportunity within Vortex Jazz Club’s Whirlpool scheme to support other female creatives and curate an exciting evening featuring her own compositions, improvised music, poetry and art. Working in collaboration with London-based female artist Jess Anderson as well as poet Taiwo thee Angel (and friends), who runs ‘For the Love of Poetry’ nights at The Orange Room in Stratford, Jemima’s night ‘sisterkind’ is a chance for young females in London to connect, reflect on their experiences and showcase their craft. The evening will finish with an open jazz jam or opportunity to read something if you wish! This plans to be a stimulating new event – bringing together young creatives with diverse backgrounds and interests and exploring how their art, music and experiences interweave.
