A Soundtrack for Black Imagination is a listening-based exploration of philosophy, ideology, and metacognition through the frame of black experience(s) guided by Regina N. Bradley and La Marr Jurelle Bruce. In a Western world that has historically constructed blackness as the antipode for civility, it is only through imagination that black people have been able to construct philosophies, worldviews, and self-images grounded in the affirmation and celebration of blackness. In this second installment of the Soundtrack for Blackness series, Bradley and Bruce take us beyond imagination as creativity for its own sake and facilitate an exploration of imagination as a catalyst for radical black thought.
Hosted by Dr. Kevin Holt from the Music Department, this event will be both hybrid (on Zoom) and in person (at the Humanities Institute) on March 5, 4:30pm. Event link can be found here.
