BLACK SOUND SYMPOSIUM
April 20-23, 2023
(Hybrid)
Indexical
1050 River St. #119
Santa Cruz, CA 95060
Website: https://www.indexical.org/tags/black-sound-symposium
The Black Sound Symposium is a 4-day event full of concerts, talks, workshops, screenings, and interdisciplinary dialogue rooted in Black sound, Black aesthetics, and Black sonic space. The symposium aims to create and sustain community; to celebrate curiosity, wonder, disobedience, collaboration, and play in artistic work; to expand anti-racist and activist pedagogy and methodologies in and outside of our institutions; and to honor the long and rich lineages of Black virtuosity that have been diminished and erased from artistic canons and social consciousness.
All talks will be live-streamed (PDT) at https://www.indexical.org/stream
The Black Sound Symposium is curated and organized by Dr. Kira Dralle and is sponsored by the Visualizing Abolition public scholarship initiative at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, as well as The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. Satellite events, supported by Dr. Nicol Hammond and Dr. Matthew Schumaker, will be held at the UCSC Department of Music.
