Sound Affects #29: Emilia Elfrida

About

Sound Affects is a night of talks about music and subcultures, how sound affects us and how music changes the world. Hearing from writers, musicians, artists, superfans, photographers, filmmakers and everyday music-lovers, we dive into personal stories, esoteric bands, fan communities, punk, pop, social change and much more. It's organised and hosted by journalist and documentary filmmaker Jak Hutchcraft.

Speakers:
Emilia Elfrida -The singer of political punk band The Menstrual Cramps and an activist working in the homeless charity sector. Along with fellow comrades, they set up Bands Boycott Barclays: a collective protesting Barclays bank's sponsorship of The Great Escape and other festivals. This led to Barclays withdrawing sponsorship of Download festival, Latitude and the Isle of Wight. Emilia will be speaking to us about DIY punk and activism.

Sooxanne Rolfe- A talk on the strange, rural, animalistic and horned festivals of Northern and Eastern Europe. For over eight years, she has explored numerous Wilde Volk festivals of Europe. Her adventures have taken her to the dark and devilish Krampus parades in Germany, the cumbrous horned processions of the Perchten in Austria, and colourful Kurkeri Masquerades of Bulgaria, plus many more. She has documented her adventures through photography, art, film, sculpture and sound.
