HAH EP by Hack A Heckle

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.

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 have performed at venues across the city.
