A new event will explore "The Club As Sanctuary"
Touching Bass will reflect on the vital contributions of black and LGBTQI+ folx to the club space
Errol Anderson and Alex Rita's Touching Bass musical movement will host an event, Black Home: The Club As Sanctuary, on December 6 at Clerkenwell's Free Word Centre.
The night, which couples music and discussion, will honour the critical contributions of black and LGBTQI+ folx to London's music culture and emphasise the need for intergenerational spaces, allowing for an environment that brings together a broad range of experiences and perspectives.
