We're very excited to be going as a group to Sonic Essays: Edward George at the Southbank Centre!
Join Edward George for a special live version of his acclaimed Morley Radio essay series The Strangeness of Dub as he meditates on the cultural fabric of Black music with archaeological precision, drawing from history and philosophy alongside a broad and expansive selection of music.
Dr Hannah Catherine Jones also performs a sonic lecture combining improvised musical performance and spoken word sampling, disintegrating boundaries between artistic disciplines and promoting healing through sound.
About the artists:
Edward George is a founder of Black Audio Film Collective. His radio series The Strangeness of Dub dives into reggae, dub, versions and versioning, drawing on critical theory, social history and a deep and wide cross-genre musical selection.
Dr. Hannah Catherine Jones (aka foxymoron) is an artist, researcher, multi-instrumentalist, broadcaster/DJ, composer, conductor, founder and creative director of Peckham Chamber Orchestra, and founder and creative director of Chiron Choir, a queer diasporic choir established in 2022.
🌟🌟🌟 Important information about our free events / cancellations! 🌟🌟🌟
For events like this, spaces are limited so we ask that people only reserve a spot if they can definitely make it and cancel their ticket at least 48 hours ahead of time if they can no longer attend. This is so we can make sure as many people as possible can join us. Failing to show up without prior cancellation takes a spot from someone else, and it is important that we are all considerate of people who may be on the waitlist.
For details on how to get there and accessibility info, visit the Southbank Centre website: southbankcentre.co.uk/visit-us/getting-here

We hope to see you there!
