Black Study – March

On Saturday, 14 March 2026, Dead Symbols will co-host BLACK STUDY at Chimurenga Factory in collaboration with A Semblance and Operation Khataza.

The study 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.

The event will begin with an informal discussion amongst participating artists prior to live performances; and forms part of Dead Symbols’ ongoing international project development and public programming that foregrounds experimentation, pedagogy, and dialogue.
