SILENT SPACES Episode 1: Messengers out now

Reclaiming iconic cultural spaces, performance halls and empty museums that have been out of action during the COVID-19 pandemic, and breaking their silences with new music, dance and hope, Silent Spaces is a powerful new project, a six-part series of videos and brand new music album led by musician Soumik Datta and a diverse community of musicians, dancers and artists.

Filmed inside a dormant and empty British Museum, and adapted from “Proshno” by Ravindranath Tagore, “Messengers” is the first episode in the series.

A creative lockdown response driven by a pervading sense of Covid-induced personal and professional loneliness, Silent Spaces was envisioned by musician, composer and TV presenter Soumik Datta, and directed by award-winning filmmaker Souvid Datta.
