We’re delighted to host a study session in collaboration with three of Cape Town’s leading experimental music units, Dead Symbols, A Semblance and Operation Khataza. The session is conceived as a collective site of listening, reading, and discussion. Drawing on the long tradition of study as a political and artistic practice within Black radical thought, the gathering asks how music can function not only as aesthetic production, but as a method of inquiry, refusal, and world-ending.
