Kym's World
Focusing on the narratives of disenfranchised communities, Kym Oliver, wearer of many hats, finally brings her dry humour, sultry tones and irreverent discourse to the mic.
“Not every conversation is for everybody! Some of our conversations need to be had behind closed doors, inside the community. I have created this space for that very reason. I talk about everything being interconnected. So we don’t talk about Religion having us in a chokehold, without talking about history, patriarchy and psychology. We don’t talk about the fetishisation of Black bodies, without talking about beauty trends, disability stigma, and class. We don’t talk about anime, without talking about SUBS being the only legit way to watch because the Japanese voice actors have the game on LOCK! Ok ok… that last one… Maybe we can add some elements of imagination liberation, culture, anti-Black futures and the role of popular media…? (lol)
The point is, this audio journey is me attempting to contribute to UNFLATTENING our realities through sound. Come along, I am actually quite engaging and occasionally funny…”
