Hack-a-Heckle: Hide (2017)

Hack A Heckle (HAH) was a social action campaign using the power of music to challenge gender-based harassment in Bristol, UK. The campaign was run by a collective of musicians, creatives and activists aged 18-25, with the support of Bristol-based arts organisation Knowle West Media Centre (KWMC). The members of Hack a Heckle came together during KWMC’s seven-month leadership programme Change Creators: XLR Collective. HAH’s debut album of original music was inspired by the stories, experiences and information they uncovered during their campaign. The collective launched HAH at the Bristol Harbour Festival 2017 and performed at venues across the city.
