DEAD SYMBOLS
Friday
Saturday
Curated by Asher Gamedze
Le Guess Who? 2025 guest curator Asher Gamedze invites a Cape Town-based critical sound collective committed to dangerous thinking and sonic vandalism. DEAD SYMBOLS situates its practice at the intersection of sound and theory: it is an inquiry, or study, into the sonic properties of theory, or sound as a theoretical intervention. Their work draws from the poetics of various Black theorists and writers to make sense of the World and contemporary society, its attendant order of knowledge and relations of power. DEAD SYMBOLS probes the existence and (il)legitimacy of systems of domination and they refuse to provide any soft landings: DEAD SYMBOLS meditates on the possibilities and implications and stakes of World-endings.
