40 yEARS: JUNE 16
An improvised auditory experiment blending black classical music with audio archive material of interviews with people who witnessed the Soweto Student Uprising in 1976, piecing together a narrative of events as they unfolded on the day.
A commemoration of the class of ’76 and forty years on, a reflection on the current state of South Africa.
Streamed live on 23 November 2014, as part of a pop radio station for Civicus.

Peace to Malose Malahlela and Meghan Judge for inviting us to take part in the occasion …. we had fun! Thanks to Rangoato Hlasane for pointing us in the direction of a certain, unnamed library of audio archive material…. which we may or may not have surreptitiously raided
