KIN-TU | Bubblegum 
Resistance | A Listening Session | Workshop & Performance | Fri 24 Jul 
We host KIN-TU’s Bubblegum Resistance. a guided spoken essay exploring South African Bubblegum, the township-rooted, disco-infused sound that emerged during apartheid-era South Africa.


The session brings together music from that time, a short live audio essay and informal conversation. The event looks at the many voices that shaped the sound, and the coded forms of resistance carried through music under political pressure.


Rather than treating popular music from that period as hedonistic or disposable, Bubblegum Resistance considers how sound can hold collective history, intergenerational memory, joy, and trauma in ways that continue to echo present time.

Ticketed event free for all members and the general public.

Time: 6pm
