Black Obsidian Sound System (B.O.S.S.)

Black Obsidian Sound System (B.O.S.S.) based in London, is a collective established in the summer of 2018 with the intention of bringing together a community of queer, trans and non-binary black and people of colour involved in art, sound and radical activism. Following in the legacies of sound system culture they wanted to learn, build and sustain a resource for shared collective struggles. B.O.S.S’s work includes renting the system to the community at subsidized rates or for free, technical workshops, art installations and various creative commissions including a short film ​‘Collective Hum’ (2019) for LUX & the ICO and ​‘The Only Good System is a Sound System‘ for Liverpool Biennial (2020), live performance events, and club nights.
