In this lecture-performance, Ahamefule J. Oluo weaves personal and familial narratives of race and music with live demonstrations of the constructions and technologies of sound, instrumentation, and electronic looping from their performance, The Things Around Us.
Through a hybrid artistic and educational experience, we are witness to an unexpected telling of the story of Black music and its political, social, and cultural reverberations.
Part of the Transform 25 workshops programme, this event is suitable for artists, students, anyone interested in the social significance of music or those looking for a deeper insight into The Things Around Us.
