Our Yard presents Authentically Plastic (UG)
Friday August 23
Ancient World, Kaurna Yerta
‘Our Yard’ is a new POC collective based on Kaurna Yerta. Grown out of a love and reverence for the sonic cultures of migrant communities both at home and globally, its aim is to bring together BIPOC artists and communities from both home and abroad.
Welcome to Our Yard, Authentically Plastic.
As a DJ, Producer & Artist from Kampala, Uganda, Authentically Plastic’s sound is necessarily political. Between 2018-2023, they ran a roving, riotous, club night called ANTI-MASS; which opened up space for femme & queer artists in Uganda’s increasingly repressive social climate. Authentically Plastic’s sets, at once dark & playful, harbour this same propulsive energy, using Gqom, Noise & Techno as a base for exploring other unknown sounds. Their music is influenced by Northern Ugandan (acholi electronic) rhythms, early acid/industrial experiments, and Afro-futurism.
