MAY 2 • A PEOPLE'S MIXTAPE – Re'al Christian

A listening session and collective mixtape born out of interdisciplinary networks of solidarity.

A People’s Mixtape is embedded within frameworks of Black Study and liberatory practice. It is a library of interconnected songs, sounds, recorded lectures, poems, rants, stories, and conversations by scholars, poets, artists, and musicians. Together, they speak alongside one another in the shared struggles for liberation and resistance.

The mixtape, as an ongoing practice and form, brings the seemingly disparate into relation—it marks an ongoing attempt to find language for the unnamable, a gesture toward a shared lexicon of liberatory thinking and working against the backdrop of increasingly authoritarian regimes that find power in separating us from ourselves.

You are invited to add to this library by bringing an audio recording you would like to add to the mixtape. This event will feature listening stations, where attendees can drift in and out of audio recordings.
Please send your recording by April 30 to programs(at)stormbookstore(dot)com
