We’re thrilled to announce the Fall 2024 NYU GSAS Music Department’s graduate student-led conference, the theme of which is “Sounds of De/Composition.” The conference will be held on October 4-5, 2024 at our Washington Square Campus. We invite participants to consider and
create sonic traces of mutually constituted biological and social breakdown, uneven distributions of environmental violences across social categories, and (re)new(ed) futurities emerging from discarded or underground sites.
The conference will feature a keynote address by Dr. Marisa Solomon (Assistant Professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Barnard College, Columbia University) and a keynote performance (to be announced). We invite proposals for paper presentations, performances, sound art, and audiovisual installations.
