about

The DECLARE & PROTEST album is part of a larger project involving the SubSounds Collective and Tallaght Community Arts celebrating the UN Declaration of Human Rights and exploring the history and role that popular music has played in the pursuit of human rights through the 20th and 21st centuries.

In 1948 the UN Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations.
In the intervening 72 years artists and musicians internationally have taken inspiration from the declaration whenever events in the wider world have threatened or exposed human rights abuses.

The Covid19 pandemic, the international response to George Floyd's murder and the Black Live Movement has provoked young artists from across South Dublin to respond to these events.

Tallaght Community Arts and Alternative Entertainments have worked with young musicians and performers to explore the history role of Protest Songs and UN Declaration of Human Rights.

Musicians from Alternative Entertainments – SubSounds Music Collective have created a new song for 2020 and recorded classic protest songs.
Performers from Tallaght Community Arts – The Rising Generation have recorded the 31 Articles of the UN Declaration of Human Rights on location at the Pearse Museum.

An installation of placards of the Preamble and 30 Articles of the Declaration will be in the walled garden of the Pearse Museum from Wednesday 16 – Friday 18 September.

DECLARE & PROTEST is produced by Tallaght Community Arts & Alternative Entertainments.

Culture Night is brought to you by the Arts Council.

Funded under Arts Council’s policy priority of Equality, Human Rights and Diversity.

The participants of SubSounds got together for 2 weeks in August 2020 and work-shopped a long list of 25 songs (culled from a playlist of 84). During these sessions they discussed the various songs and artists, and eventually chose the final 10 that appear on this album. The recordings were done over five days and were live and intense. Some of that passion and intensity comes through on this album.

All proceeds from the sale of this album on BandCamp will be donated to The Immigrant Council of Ireland.

SubSounds is a partnership between Alternative Entertainments, Music Generation South Dublin and CONTACT Studio (an initiative of South Dublin County Council Arts Office).
