Who. What. Where? No. 81

We may already be in the thick of September, but why not squeeze in another festival to round off the summer? The inaugural Jazz Cafe Festival is the venue’s latest musical milestone, bringing together some of the most elite performers from their 35-year-long history. The event (which will take place on Sunday 15 September at Burgess Park in Camberwell) is all about community and culture – as well as music, obviously. For that reason, The Dome stage – which makes up a quarter of the festival’s grand total – is being hosted by the community travel platform Trippin World. To honour their dedication to mindful globe trotting, the stage will be filled with performers from far and wide like São Paulo-born th4ys, Portugal-born Nídia and Venezuelan latin rhythm artist Florentino. It’ll also see the “Queen of R&B edits” (according to London’s Boiler Room), Jords, hop on the decks. If that’s not to your taste, though, there’ll also be acts spanning hip hop, rap, soul and – of course – jazz. French DJ Gilles Peterson will headline the Four Corners stage, American rap icon Earl Sweatshirt will close the Plant Room, while the Berlin-based musician and producer Nils Frahm will conclude the festival at the Parkway main stage. If that sounds up your street, you can nab a ticket here. You’ll have to be quick, though – they’re on their final release.

If you’re craving some culture this September, the London-based artist Olaolu Slawn is opening a solo exhibition at the Saatchi Yates gallery on Thursday. On until 17 October, the expo features the perfect blend of street and abstract art, while paying homage to the Nigerian-born painter’s roots. To put it simply, it’s an absolute explosion of colour. One thousand A4 canvases are arranged into one enormous art graffiti-style piece on the gallery’s wall. You can also expect some colourful caricatures taking the mick out of youth culture and other social tropes. Despite the tongue-in-cheek approach, though, Slawn knows what he’s doing. He’s the youngest artist to have received commissions from the Brit Awards (following art world A-listers Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin and Vivienne Westwood), and he’s the first artist ever to be asked to redesign the FA cup. On top of that, his collectors include Skepta, Central Cee, Dave, A$AP Rocky and Wizkid. If you have a grand to spare and want to join Slawn’s list of star-studded clients, you can actually get your hands on his exhibited work via an exclusive online drop. Or, simply head on down to Mayfair for a gander. Details will be released on the gallery’s website tomorrow.

Back over in the music world, Nilüfer Yanya’s latest album, My Method Actor, is set to drop on 13 September through the independent record label Ninja Tune. Following on from her near-title single “Method Actor” – which is accompanied by a nifty one-take music video shot in a Benidorm hotel – the British singer-songwriter’s third album delves into the darker side of method acting. Through this not-super-relatable topic, Yanya raises much-more-relatable questions about self-development and humanity, mental health and core memories. To put it simply, if you’re in your twenties and trying to figure out who you are and what the hell is going on, you’ll probably appreciate the album’s existential tracks. Sonically, though, the album is a blend of soulful melodies, indie rock and jazz. It also has a sort of intimate energy about it – probably due to the fact the whole album was written and recorded alongside one producer, Wilma Archer. If you fancy a listen, you can pre-order the album here.

Finally, if you’re looking for a seriously good watch, feast your eyes on In Camera by Naqqash Khalid. A debut feature for the writer and director, the story follows Aden – played by Nabhaan Rizwan – a young actor who keeps getting rejected, before landing a part that leads him to a string of nightmarish events. Raising questions about ruthless industries and the sacrifices of creatives, the movie deals with some pretty big themes. It also breaks the norms of conventional filmmaking, playing with the boundaries of seeing and being seen, while making a satirical comment on race politics. It’s no surprise, then, that the drama nabbed the title of Best Debut Feature at the Dinard Film Festival. You can watch In Camera at the BFI from Friday (tickets here).
