The Sister Wound: space for all women in dub with Mother Earth Sound

Representing Spain and Mexico, Mother Earth Sound are a lioness trio spreading a solid message of justice, care, and upliftment with their carefully curated selections. But when the patriarchal-conditioned mentality of ‘there’s space for her or me; not both of us’ is ingrained in us since birth, how easy is it to pick apart female competition and sister wounds; particularly in a scene still so dominated by men?

Mother Earth will meet Vixen Sound for an in-depth discussion on how women in soundsystem can embrace their sisters and recognise there’s room at the table for all of us, with practical guidance on how we can face these internal wounds with more care, understanding and support for one another.
