Represent Recommends: Deconstructing Youth Day
We always lurve their flyers – sadly we haven’t caught a party yet but believe they’re off the hook. Here’s your chance to Represent at an early Youth Day event “APARTlove” being held at the Apartheid museum on Friday 15th June. They’re making a movie of the night as stereotypes are broken and trends set by today’s hippest Jozi youth. If you’re into indie or alternate culture, this is definitely one for you or if you’d just like to Represent for Youth Day with good people – check out the Deconstruct event. Feast your eyes on the gorgeous flyer.
APARTlove
The next, and most ambitious Deconstruction Event to date, will be held on the 15th June in celebration of Youth Day, in the Apartheid Museum, and will be themed APARTlove fittingly.
Already we have had 3 flyers designed, all by different designers and artists, which all display a different interpretation of the theme as well as its social significance.
The Line-up that has been secured for this significant event includes The BLK JKS (South Africa’s only Black rock band, and includes the official launch of their EP), Idol Hands (a White Hip-Hop Turntabilist crew), and Desmond and The Tutus, all performing live, with a slam poetry session by the Bushwomen, as well as reknowned DJ’s Destrukto, The Brothers Grimm, Sassquatch, and Klassikist performing at the event, and in a Johannesburg first, we have a two hour set with Data Takashi and Soviet Space Dog going head-to-head live on UJFM leading up to the event, so that people can get into the event while driving there.
In addition to the event, we will be filming a documentary of the evening, focussing on the interactions between the people attending and the environment, being the Apartheid Museum, and the art that will be exhibited at the event by collectives including Familia (with their film Bang Chong), *And Then*, Social Construction and a host of other exhibitors, including MissYucki, Ke Ai, and Club Soda. This film is ultimately being produced for international distribution and screening at international festivals.
