The contributions of Black, Latinx, Asian, Middle Eastern & Indigenous people to punk music and culture has been consistently and grievously ignored by history and continues to be undervalued to this day.
This is why we, the DIY Diaspora Punx, a collective of musicians, artists and creatives, have come together to organise the first ever Decolonise Fest, schedulled for June 2017!
Decolonise Fest will celebrate all the brilliant Diaspora Punx, who we define as people who are descended (through one or both parents) from the original inhabitants of Africa, Caribbean, Asia, Middle East, Latin America, Australasia, North America, and the islands of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean.
We want to celebrate the Diaspora Punx that are creating right now, acknowledge our elders and the doors they opened for us, while also making room for more DIY diaspora punx to take centre stage and make noise.
We’re totally DIY, so this is a fundraiser for the not-for-profit festival next year. COME OUT AND SUPPORT THE FIRST EVENT FOR MORE GREAT THINGS TO COME!
Friday November 4th at The Unicorn in Camden.
