Talking, Listening, Performing — The Politics of Sound and Gentrification
The night continued with a sonic performance by Adon Geel and Kujenga which utilised excerpts for Dr Lwando Scott's essay, 'Whose Heritage Matters: Monuments of the Marginalised'.
Organised sound, the absence of it, and the ability to make sense of what is being communicated were contested. The conclusion from a heated discussion were bodies stomping, writhing, bobbing, and clapping to music. The music of the night allowed for a catharsis or a willing into joy, an invitation to reflect in another language.
