Resisting easy categorisation, experimental R&B French-Senegalese musician anaiis offers a night of sonic grace and introspection at the White Bay Power Station.

Part of Biennale of Sydney’s Art After Dark series, it’s one of three Friday nights of innovative, left-of-centre music among the ongoing Biennale exhibition and outdoor food offerings, presented by Vivid Sydney.

Based in London, anaiis (her lower-case name in honour of theorist bell hooks) blends the personal and political in her music, pulling from rich textures across R&B, soul and alternative genres to make them entirely her own.

Breaking through with ‘Nina’ in 2018, her most recent album Devotion & the Black Divine is a mythic self-portrait through motherhood, grief and reclaimed identity.

Art After Dark transforms into a bold music program unfolding on Friday evenings at White Bay Power Station. Continuing its reputation as a late-night hub for discovery, expect genre-defying performances, immersive sonic environments, and unexpected collaborations, all set within the awe-inspiring industrial architecture of White Bay Power Station.
