un Projects x Nyege Nyege Collective : Resonant Imaginaries

Join Kampire for a chat and reading about polyrhythmic, political, and disruptive sounds

Ahead of the launch of un Magazine 19.1: Resonant imaginaries and sound clashes, guest edited by Lucreccia Quintanalla, RISING is hosting a conversation with Kampire, a vibrant bass-heavy DJ who's a core member of Nyege Nyege Collective. Founded in 2014, Uganda's annual Nyege Nyege Festival (now label) has become a seminal space for afro-galactic electronic music and queer expression, despite consistent attempts from religious conservatives to shut it down.

Lucreccia Quintanalla's incoming issue for un Magazine focuses on polyrhythmic, political, and disruptive sounds and modes of listening. The magazine includes a feature article from New York and Gadigal/Sydney-based writer Hannah Wickramasuriya on Nyege Nyege, singeli, polyrhythms, high BPMs and embodiment.

For the talk, Samira Farah will be in conversation with Kampire. Then there'll be a reading of Hannah Wickramasuriya's incoming piece 'Velocity, Polyrhythmic Fracture and Temporal Multiplicity' that'll be read aloud by Thomas Ragnar and Lucreccia Quintanilla.
