The Stinger Sessions kicks off with a roaring challenge to the status quo in Denise Gaberman’s new documentary film, Welcome to Metal Kingdom. Don’t be fooled by the font, non-metalhead audiences will find plenty to enjoy and think about in this personal and surprisingly touching observation of the rise and fall of Metal Kingdom, the hub of New York’s underground pan-latino metal scene.
The documentary’s director will present the film and some shorts. Discussion will be opened up to address some of the film’s key themes:
- migration, ethnicity, and culture
- decolonisation and popular culture
- gender justice in the media field
- obstacles to sustainable self-identified communities
Come out and show your support for the very first Stinger Session to ensure that this type of event continues to happen in the SYD.
