Rhythm Race Revolution is an 8-week course with Aditi Jaganathan that uses music and its attendant cultural texts, as a site of deep study, through which ideas of race, gender, colonialism, healing and transformative justice are collectively explored. It is a radical learning space tracing the sonic(s) of resistance.
Session 2:
Organic Music Society: A cosmos of being otherwise
Using the life and practice of Don Cherry, we will move with the ways in which he created a mirror, for life to reflect the radical impulse of music. Through improvisation and a deep study of global music, we will witness the power of his learnings through the music he wove with others.
Reading lists will be provided to those who book. Places are limited.
Bio
Dr Aditi Jaganathan is a thinker and creator, writer and dreamer. Having worked at the intersections of law, culture and politics in various capacities, Aditi is motivated by a politics of refusal, living in rupture as rapture; turning away from hegemonic worlds of oppression and tuning into something different, beyond the world we live in and moving to the rhythms of an elsewhere. It is this compulsion which guides her pedagogy in the education work she does. Riffing off education for liberation, she creates spaces of (un)learning as a site of radical praxis, using tools of music, film and visual culture, to unpack the ways in which ideologies of oppression and liberation travel through cultural production.
