An Immersive Creative Takeover Celebrating Independent Art, Sound, Design and Culture
London: London's vibrant creative scene is set to welcome FROM SKRETCH 001, an immersive multidisciplinary experience bringing together contemporary art, live music, fashion, design and performance at Indra Gallery, Old Street, on 4–5 December 2026. Conceived as a celebration of independent creativity, the two-day event aims to transform a traditional gallery setting into a dynamic cultural space where artistic disciplines intersect, creative communities connect and audiences experience art beyond conventional boundaries.
Curated by Sveva Raschella, FROM SKRETCH introduces a distinctive creative concept inspired by three interconnected ideas: From Scratch, celebrating handmade craftsmanship and the Italian tradition of creating something from the beginning; Sketching, representing the artistic process of drawing, imagining and developing ideas; and Scratch, referencing DJ culture, turntablism and experimental sound. Together, these influences shape an event that celebrates originality, artistic experimentation and the creative process across visual and performing arts.
Designed as a multisensory showcase, FROM SKRETCH 001 brings together painting, ceramics, photography, clothing, visual art, music and contemporary design within one shared environment. Rather than presenting individual disciplines in isolation, the event encourages dialogue between different artistic practices, allowing sound, texture, visual expression and atmosphere to interact. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore creative works, engage with emerging talent and discover how independent artistic communities are redefining the relationship between art, fashion and contemporary culture.
The programme features an exciting lineup of international creative talents. CallMeD, an Italian independent artist blending hip-hop and R&B with bold personal storytelling, brings a distinctive musical perspective exploring identity, relationships and emotional experiences. Joining her is DJ Ghost, an Italian DJ and producer from Pavia, recognised as a four-time Italian Scratch Champion and member of the renowned Alien Army crew. Their live collaboration will offer audiences an exclusive preview of new music, incorporating vinyl scratching and an open-mic experience that reflects the event's experimental and collaborative spirit.
Adding to the musical atmosphere, Shabi Seyf, a London-based DJ, producer and sound designer originally from Tehran, will bring her signature fusion of house, disco and soulful vocals, creating energetic, groove-driven sets influenced by underground music culture. Vittorio Sica, an Italian DJ whose musical identity bridges Naples and London, will contribute deep house, vinyl selections and rhythm-led electronic sounds. As founder of The Collective, his approach combines musical exploration with an instinctive connection to the dancefloor. The programme will also feature live painting by Sveva Raschella, creating an interactive artistic moment where audiences can witness the creative process unfold alongside music and performance.
The event takes place at Indra Gallery, situated in London's vibrant Old Street creative district. Known for its minimalist, industrial-inspired aesthetic and versatile open-plan setting, the contemporary gallery provides a fitting environment for experimentation across art, fashion and culture. Dedicated to supporting emerging artists, independent talent and creative communities, Indra Gallery offers a platform for artistic exchange and unconventional expression. For FROM SKRETCH 001, the venue will become an immersive meeting point where contemporary visual art, live sound, fashion and underground culture converge.
Beyond its exhibition and performance programme, FROM SKRETCH 001 seeks to create an energetic social and cultural gathering, bringing together artists, designers, musicians, collectors, creative professionals and London's wider artistic community. Through its combination of visual showcases, live performances, DJ sets, open-mic participation and collaborative artistic experiences, the event encourages visitors not simply to observe creativity but to become part of its atmosphere. The concept reflects a growing interest in multidisciplinary cultural platforms that connect emerging creative voices and provide opportunities for experimentation, visibility and meaningful collaboration.
At its heart, FROM SKRETCH 001 is a celebration of independent artistic identity and the freedom to create without boundaries. By combining Italian craftsmanship, contemporary visual expression, underground music and London's diverse creative energy, the event presents a fresh perspective on how cultural experiences can be imagined and shared. More than an exhibition or music event, it represents a creative movement built around connection, originality and artistic discovery, where art meets sound, fashion meets performance, and creativity begins from scratch.
