Weaving together archival images, the installation reflects the ways in which marginalised groups have developed methods of coming together against a background of repression and discrimination in the UK – positioning sound culture as spaces of collective strength and encounter where kinship is found and reciprocated. Grounded in their interest in sound systems, Black Obsidian Sound System consider the speaker as a totem for creating a sacred space, where one can be moved and experience collective pleasure and healing.
