About this event
Black Obsidian Sound System (B.O.S.S.) is a queer, feminist sound system collective from London, founded in 2018 by Black and POC queer and trans artists, DJs, and activists. Channeling Caribbean sound system traditions and UK club DIY spirit, they use music as a tool for resistance, healing, and collective joy. With their mobile sound system, they organise parties, protests, and educational events that bridge club culture, activism, and art. In 2021, they were nominated for the Turner Prize but simultaneously voiced criticism of the institution behind the prestigious award. Staying true to their values of community, B.O.S.S. creates inclusive spaces that centre Black, queer, and trans voices, reinterpreting the sound system tradition in a way that feels more urgent than ever. \\n\\nPSST is an intersectional feminist platform fighting for more inclusion in music and nightlife through events, workshops, a database and a community sound system, which they built during one of their workshops. \\n\\nPSST & BOSS connected a year ago in Brussels to celebrate PSST' 7th birthday, and this time, PSST is traveling across the UK with their Pssound System, and this gig is their first stop!\\n
