reviews
“The description not only itemises the movement but also elevates small things you might not see – in an intimate, atmospheric duet between [Nadenh] Poan and Emily Lue-Fong, for example – into something quite beautiful. And quietly revolutionary.”
The Guardian
“Fascinating, infectious and innovative, I highly recommend a visit to Stopgap at the earliest opportunity”
