And if you're under 25, admission is free all evening.

There will also be special activities linked to The Courtauld’s acclaimed exhibition Van Gogh. Self-Portraits, a live duet choreographed by Julia Cheng (House of Absolute) in response to the installation, DJ sets, plus soul-warming Filipino inspired street food and drinks from Bongbong's Manila Kanteen.
