Register for Event

 

A continuation of the Black Rest Project at the Center for Black Visual Culture, we present the Rest in Black Music Panel! Featuring Jake Goldbas, Dr. Fredara Hadley, Rich Medina, and Dr. Mark Anthony Neal moderated by Dr. Kwami Coleman, this panel interrogates the critical role Black music plays in facilitating the act of rest for Black bodies, and will explore how “the rest” and “the break” in music function as facilitators of reprieve and revival.

 

Please join us at 20 Cooper Square, Room 101 for an insightful discussion with our distinguished panel of musicians, artists and scholars. Whether you’re already familiar or just curious, this event will leave you with a new appreciation for the power of Black music and the act of rest as a resistant and liberatory practice. We look forward to seeing you!

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Who We Are

    The Institute of African American Affairs (IAAA) and Center for Black Visual Culture (CBVC) at New York University are both interdisciplinary spaces for students, faculty, post-doc fellows, artists, scholars and the general public.

    The goals of IAAA & CBVC converge to promote and encourage collaborative research projects, experimental learning and open spaces to the larger community for broad and thematic discussions through various, diverse and dynamic public programming and initiatives by way of conferences, lectures, workshops, screenings, exhibitions, readings, performances, visiting scholars, artist residencies and publications.

    IAAA’s mission continues to research, document, and celebrate the cultural and intellectual production of Africa and its diaspora in the Atlantic world and beyond with a commitment to the study of Blacks in modernity through concentrations in Pan-Africanism and Black Urban Studies.

    The CBVC, is a space for scholarly and artistic inquiry (framing and reframing) into the understanding and exploration of images focusing on black people globally with critical evaluation of images in multiple realms of culture, including how various archives and the development of visual technologies affect the construction of representations.
