BLACK STUDY – a conversation and performance by Dead Symbols, A Semblance and Operation Khataza

We’re delighted to host a study session in collaboration with three of Cape Town’s leading experimental music units, Dead Symbols, A Semblance and Operation Khataza. The session is conceived as a collective site of listening, reading, and discussion. Drawing on the long tradition of study as a political and artistic practice within Black radical thought, the gathering asks how music can function not only as aesthetic production, but as a method of inquiry, refusal, and world-ending.

Saturday, 14 March 2026
Chimurenga Factory – 157 Victoria Rd, Woodstock, Cape Town
Admission: Free. Doors open 4pm.

The event will begin with an informal discussion amongst participating artists prior to live performances; and forms part of a long-term collaboration between Chimurenga and Dead Symbols, on public programming that foregrounds experimentation, pedagogy, and dialogue.

This event is supported by the National Arts Council South Africa.
