All London's live music

The programmes always bring to the forefront Aggressive Listening styles: a listening where we listen with compassion, horizontally and with the direct intention of anonymising ourselves to counter surveillance and power-laden listening structures. In this iteration, we invite artists and researcher Dr. Alia Mosallam visiting from Berlin, Akil Scafe-Smith from Resolve Collective, and Ikhras, a punk band with a Palestinian error code on its forehead <3

IKHRAS is a hardcore punk band from London / Brighton with raging sonics exercising through the various styles the genre has to offer. The band's latest offering, "Anwa3 Al-Mowt", tackles subjects of loss, generational trauma, treachery, betrayal and revenge.

Alia Mossallam is a cultural historian, educator and writer interested in songs that tell stories and family histories that tell of popular struggles behind the better-known events that shape world history. She is currently working on historicizing the construction of the Aswan High Dam through songs and stories of the experiences of its builders and the Nubian communities displaced by it; through a manuscript and various visual and sonic installations.
