Ankur Festival Festival Club Night

Ankur Festival invites you to the hottest club night in town. Samson Sounds play their tight, solid beats of African high-life and blues mixed with a heavyweight dubstep base. The party includes special guest appearances from Patricia Panther, Bigg Taj, Iyad Hayatleh and the Flyin’ Jalapeños B-Boy Crew.

Ankur Festival is a free, multi-artform weekend event, where local artists, academics and the general public interrogate the issue of race and ethnicity in contemporary Scotland. Driven by questions “Where are you really from?” and “Do you have to be white to be Scottish?”, as well as examining the subject of growing up mixed race. A compelling range of responses, notions of dual heritage, immigration and clashes of culture will be explored through an eclectic programme of performance, art, music, poetry, film, comedy and discussion.
