About this Event
The emergence of UK drill music made headline news, portraying it as a criminal enterprise instead of recognising it as an art form. This new rap subgenre, however, is neither the first nor the only Black music to be targeted this way.
Policing the Beats rewinds the tape to demonstrate how music has been used as an instrument for policing Black people, from the era of colonial slavery to the present day, revealing the racist legal processes that make crimes out of rhymes.
We are pleased that Lambros is joined by Brian Richardson and Ife Thompson from Nexus Chambers. Brian is a criminal Barrister and author of Bob Marley: Roots, Reggae & Revolution, and Ife, a globally renowned Movement Lawyer and community organiser.
