90% of British women report their first experience with harassment before the age of 17.* This needs to end. Let’s SEE IT, HEAR IT, STOP IT.
Hack A Heckle (HAH) is a social action campaign using the power of music to challenge gender-based harassment in Bristol, UK. The campaign is 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.
Hide is the debut release from Hack a Heckle, recorded during the collective’s leadership residency in Barcelona in March 2017.
