\"FrontOur upcoming exhibition Beyond the Bassline<\/span><\/b><\/em> (26 April – 26 August 2024)<\/span><\/strong> shines a spotlight on different voices and perspectives to celebrate Black British music as a form of entertainment and vehicle for community, as well as a source of liberation, protest and education.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Stepping into carnivals, clubs and record shops across the country, Beyond the Bassline<\/span><\/em> draws on different places that have cultivated creative expression and inspired a number of Black British music genres.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

We’d love to create as much local content as possible for this exhibition, so if you have any memories, photographs, or tunes from the carnivals, clubs and communities that played such a unique role in creating the Sound System culture then please, please get in touch with us at READ@kirklees.gov.uk<\/a><\/a><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
