KIN-TU presents Bubblegum Resistance: A Listening Session !
KIN-TU presents Bubblegum Resistance: A Listening Session, a guided spoken essay exploring South African Bubblegum, the township-rooted, disco-infused sound that emerged during apartheid-era South Africa.
The session brings together selected tracks, a short live audio essay and informal conversation. The event looks at the many voices that shaped the sound, and the coded forms of resistance carried through music under political pressure.
Rather than treating popular music from that period as hedonistic or disposable, Bubblegum Resistance considers how sound can hold collective history, intergenerational memory, joy and trauma in ways that continue to echo in the present.
