Brought to you by Blackwell’s Bookshop and the Ashmolean Museum, ‘Inspired by Blake’ is a two-week William Blake Festival celebrating the magnificent and visionary painter, poet, thinker and icon.
A special performance from acclaimed rapper and Guinness World Record holding beatboxer Testament ahead of his summer 2015 ‘Blake Remixed’ show. Testament will be performing a mix of spoken word, rap and human beatbox drawing on Blake-influenced material from previous work ‘No Freedom Without Sacrifice ’and some of the music from the forthcoming show. Testament’s work shows the continuing line from Blake to contemporary British Hip-Hop and the relevance of William Blake to new forms of creativity.
