Kneecap South American tour and cultural advocacy

Overview

The Northern Irish hip-hop group Kneecap, composed of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí, conducted a tour across South America, including stops in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil.

During their visit to Mexico, the group participated in a discussion titled ‘Language as Resistance’ at the Foro Cultural San Ángel. They used the platform to promote the Gaelic language as a tool of resistance against colonialism, drawing parallels between the Irish experience and the struggles of indigenous peoples in Mexico and Australia.

The tour concluded with a performance in São Paulo, Brazil, at Cine Joia. The set featured intense political themes and anti-imperialist stances, including visual projections targeting international conservative figures and messages regarding the conflict in Gaza that prompted audience chants of ‘Free Palestine’.
