Legacies of Resistance: The Evolution of Dub
Sound & Culture Summit
Dive into the politics, context and history behind dub music. This talk traces its roots in sound system culture: its ties to colonial and postcolonial realities, and how it became a powerful language of resistance, identity and community.
Together with Refuge Worldwide co-founder Richard Akingbehin, performer and activist Black Omolo and pioneering producer Gavsborg we’ll explore the social forces that shaped the world of dub music, along with the technical innovations and artistic choices that turned the studio into a space for critique, transformation, and new possibilities in sound.
Facilitator: Richard Akingbehin
Speakers: Black Omolo, Gavsborg
