The Common Daytime Program Presents:
TEMPLE UPRISING: THE POWER OF SOUND FOR COLLECTIVE LIBERATION
Welcome to Temple Uprising, a place in between the deep jungle beats, techno and dubstep where we explore the undeniable power of music to illuminate the path towards collective empowerment and social transformation.
Temple Uprising serves as a beacon, a vibration connecting the light and the dark, the invisible with the visible, the violent and the peaceful, the wounds and wisdoms, the ancient and the future. Hosted in The Common, we get to experience how music transcends mere entertainment, becoming a catalyst for revolution and liberation.
The Common has always tended to the trespassers.
Sound itself is a trespasser. It does not care for boundaries, bodies, or borders. It defies the logic of othering that would isolate people. Sound arcs over palace walls and seeps under cell doors.
Temple Uprising isn’t just a stage, it’s a movement. We’re diving deep into how music, sound and voices can shape the world.
The speakers will be a combination of artists in conversation with elders and wisdom keepers of the land of UK Isles, musical presentations, storytelling, discussions and collaborations. It will be a stage that welcomes joyful disruptors, challengers of social norms, activists against capitalism and colonialism, writers, artists and poets of sound.
