DJ Set by Timi Shogbola
A London-based transdisciplinary artist who uses DJing, sound, and performance to explore African diasporic narratives and Black cultural legacies. Rooted in Black feminist thought and bell hooks’ oppositional gaze, her practice critiques dominant representations of Blackness, particularly the Black femme body. Through soundsystem culture, dance, and community spaces as sites of resistance, she investigates how sound shapes collective memory, identity, and futurity. Her work creates immersive experiences that honour Black cultural practices while fostering dialogue around liberation, visibility, and transformation.
