The Pan African Space Station (PASS) is a 30-day music intervention from September 12 - October 12, on radio and the internet, as well as venues across greater Cape Town.

It is an opportunity for Capetonians and visitors to engage up-close with the rich and complex web of creative expression which binds Africans across the globe.

PASS is also an exploration of and an intervention into spatial and cultural ghettos in the city and how to link them physically (through the music venues) and conceptually (on radio and the internet).

The highlight of the project is a unique freeform music radio station that will broadcast 30 days of cutting edge music from global Africa to the greater Cape Town. The radio will launch with a 24-hour event to be held at the Pan African Market on September 12 (Biko Day), and will broadcast on FM until October 12. Thereafter, broadcasting will continue online.

Between October 1 - 4, PASS plays host to genre-busting music outfits from global Africa dedicated to exploring new musical territory. They'll all be playing at disparate venues across Cape Town that both affirm and disrupt the musical geography of the city - from Langa's Guga S'thebe and the Assembly in District Six, to Mowbray's Town Hall, The Kimberley Hotel in the CBD and the Slave Church on Long Street.
