Hosted by Assistant Professor and hip hop artist akua naru, this experience features live student performances, a DJ set, and an intimate conversation with guest artist/performer Edd Wheeler: pioneering Brazilian rapper, founding member of As Damas do Rap, the first female Hip Hop group in Rio de Janeiro, and practicing lawyer and organizer whose life and work embody the transformative power of the emcee as witness, visionary, and change agent. NOIZ invites the community into a night of sound, story, and radical thought.
