DUB WILL HEAL OUR WORLD (We Out Here)
Our headliners Dub Will Heal Our World bring together the shared vision of cross-disciplinary healer Chloé Gill and super-smart and spicy writer and broadcaster Emma Dabiri who bonded over a shared passion for the spiritual ingredients, healing sonics and revolutionary power of roots reggae and dub. On a mission to spread the healing frequencies of rhythm and resistance we are chuffed to welcome Chloé and Emma to bless us with a consciousness raising DUB session on the legendary Margate Arts Club sound system.
