The series takes a look at a
different segment of culture and invites experts to write a guest blog post and
take part in an online talk/Q&A.
For the session on music, the invited expert is award-winning saxophonist, composer, poet, MC and producer and festival organiser, Soweto Kinch.
In his vital think-piece,
Soweto discusses how his latest album, The Black Peril, confronts
some of the injustices and inequalities under the ‘old normal’ and how he is
using the restricted conditions of lockdown to create new work, and find new
audiences.His article is hugely relevant and comes at a really important time - digging into the dynamics of class and culture and race and heritage, all set against the backdrop of touring a new album during the coronavrius pandemic and at the start of the single largest wave of anti-racist protests.
The online event is a follow up to
this piece of writing and takes place on Wednesday 15th July at 7pm.
It's free to attend but registration required.
