# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Profound Sound: RIEKO (Rieko Whitfield) and guests
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for a special Profound Sound event presenting an immersive performance by Japanese-born, Margate-based artist and composer RIEKO (Rieko Whitfield), showcasing her upcoming EP Zakuro.

Zakuro — Japanese for "pomegranate" — features sweeping string arrangements over crushing electronic beats, cavernous minimalist piano, and vocals that move from roaring lament to yearnings of hope. The four-track EP draws on the Buddhist tale of Kishibojin: a child-devouring demon who undergoes a spiritual transformation, consuming pomegranate seeds as the closest substitute for flesh, and becoming a protector of the vulnerable.

Zakuro is a tender proposition of hope through anticipatory grief, in the face of political and ecological collapse.

RIEKO (Rieko Whitfield) is a Japanese-born artist and composer whose multidisciplinary practice is part of an ongoing mythological world-building project. Weaving ritual performance, experimental music, and collective healing workshops with curation and community building, her work prototypes alternative futures and cultural systems through oracular, artist-led intuition.

She is a 2025-2026 resident at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, a 2022-2023 resident at the Tate Modern and Tate Britain, a 2021 MA graduate of the Royal College of Art, and Founding Director of Diasporas Now.
