Oyé All Stars<br />
The dynamic, irresistible sound of the Soweto township is<br />
coming to Africa Oyé this year, as it’s been revealed that<br />
seven-piece force of nature BCUC will be headlining the<br />
27th edition of the festival. BCUC gave a taste of what to<br />
expect at their incendiary live show at District in October<br />
2018, and their blend of hip hop, indigenous funk and rock<br />
energy has to be seen to be fully comprehended. It has all<br />
the hallmarks of a legendary Oyé headline set. Algerian<br />
musician SOFIANE SAIDI will also be performing in Sefton<br />
Park, bringing his new project with electro-Maghreb<br />
wizards MAZALDA to bring a fresh take on the classic<br />
80s-inspired sounds of Algerian Rai. All this and much<br />
more is coming your way – for free – on the weekend of<br />
22nd and 23rd June. Your attendance is highly expected.<br />

The Female Gaze:<br />
Women Depicting Women<br />
A new exhibition launches at Queen Avenue gallery DOT-ART on<br />
International Women’s Day, Friday 8th <strong>March</strong>. A trio of locally based<br />
artists, Liz Jeary, Mia Cathcart and Rebecca Atherton, will explore<br />
identity and male gaze through diverse art forms in a two-month<br />
long show. With the guerrilla girls’ famous campaign proclaiming that<br />
less than five per cent of artists exhibited in the MOMA were female<br />
while, according to the National Museum of Women in the Arts, 51 per<br />
cent of visual artists are female, representation is a vital issue in the<br />
art world. <strong>March</strong> is also the last chance artists have the opportunity<br />
to apply to Liverpool, 2028 – an opportunity to be displayed at the<br />
gallery as part of the bido100! programme of activity. Go to dot-art.<br />
co.uk for more details.<br />

Curry On Up The Charts<br />

subcontinent are opening a Bold Street premises this April to<br />

Sound Women<br />
The people down at Sound on Duke Street are good old eggs.<br />
As well as setting up a regular night for underage giggers,<br />
they’ve helped the Sound Women collective to build a really<br />
supportive network around their regular events. What started<br />
as a community of like-minded women trying to help each other<br />
has blossomed into a series of workshops, classes and “femalefronted<br />
entertainment”. In <strong>March</strong> you can attend a finance clinic,<br />
a social media for business workshop, craft classes and more.<br />
It’s rounded off by the customary Sound Women gig (23rd<br />
<strong>March</strong>), featuring indie-electronica fusers FOXTRAP, who’ve just<br />
dropped their self-titled debut album.<br />
