Sonic Lecture: Liberation Songs w/ Rabz Lansiquot
Join Dj, Filmmaker & Curator Rabz Lansiquot for a deep listening session exploring the role of music in Black radical politics and movements towards liberation. This session: Liberation Songs, will float between songs directly linked to specific movements, such as Abolition and Struggles for Independence from Colonialism, to genres and scenes born out of resistance, to music which has formed Rabz’s own political journey, all with the intention of highlighting sound as a form that is inextricable from the fight for the freedom of all oppressed peoples.
Rabz Lansiquot is a filmmaker, programmer, curator, and DJ with a specific interest in Black Liberatory Cinema & music. They are the co-founder of South London based music-focused dyke night WET & had a monthly radio show on Peckham’s Balamii for over 6 years. They were one half of the artistic and curatorial duo Languid Hands, who have curated multiple exhibitions and programmes in the UK, Europe and the US, and made the 2019 archival-essay film Towards A Black Testimony.
The Sonic lectures are a series of performances and lectures where we invite artists, DJs, writers, thinkers & organizers to our space. Specifically, those whose work is rooted in deep listening, and a commitment to sonic and musical histories. Embedded in lifelong acts of rehearsal, lived experience and geopolitics, we explore the entanglement of oral literature, and the act and practice of storytelling.
