Join Us for “Meg Lee Chin: Behind the Mix—Exposing Music’s Dirty Secret"
Date: Wednesday, 9th July
Time: 5:00–7:00 PM
Location: Westminster City Archives, 10 St Ann's Street, at the end of the small alley, London, SW1P 2DF
In this no-holds-barred talk, visionary artist Meg Lee Chin reveals the music industry’s murky underbelly. From backroom sabotage to subtle erasure, she charts her battle with entrenched male sexism—and confronts a quieter taboo: the uncomfortable reality of girl-on-girl crime.
