ABOUT
A Conversation with Atiyyah Khan
Join The Living Archive for an intimate conversation with journalist, archivist and researcher Atiyyah Khan, exploring her new, comprehensive zine A Journey Into the Sun.
The zine traces the story of The Sun, the first Black-owned jazz record label, Kohinoor, Johannesburg's iconic record store, and Rashid Vally, the visionary behind both.
Through research, archival material and personal storytelling, Atiyyah brings to light an important chapter in South Africa's musical and cultural history — exploring the people, places, records and ideas that shaped the country's jazz landscape. This conversation offers an opportunity to engage with the archive not simply as a record of the past, but as a living source of knowledge, memory and cultural identity.
Featuring: Atiyyah Khan
