TALK: Policing Blackness: Music and Visual Culture
In this recording, speakers across fields of art, journalism and academia join moderator Dr Anamik Saha in an event combining discussion and listening. Participants include Dr Monique Charles, Gaika, Last Yearz Interesting Negro, Dr Anamik Saha, Dr Dhanveer Singh Brar.
The participants trace the Black British experience through music, asking how sound can be a form of resistance to hegemonic forces of dominant cultures, and if commercialism absorbs those energies. In response to recent police action to shut down Drill performances in London, the talk also examines how and why these musical practices are policed and contained. The event featured a new performance by Last Yearz Interesting Negro, Practicing listening to the subterranean murmurs. Policing Blackness: Music and Visual Culture was framed by Goldsmiths CCA’s exhibition of work by Tony Cokes.
Co-organised with Dr Anamik Saha (Senior Lecturer and Co-Convenor of MA Race, Media and Social Justice, Goldsmiths)
