Whose World? Whose Future? Whose Hope? Critical Fabulation for Pluriversal Futures vol.1 w/ Tapiwa Svosve

Description

For this Sunday evening listening session, Tapiwa Svosve weaves sonic threads around jazz as a record of diaspora and migration, exploring the compositional impact of musicians and writers such as Mary Lou Williams, Julius Eastman, and Édouard Glissant on global soundscapes—from Baltimore clubs to the communes of 1970s Sweden. Svosve focuses on the state of improvisation and its potential to create and agitate energy in a multitude of contexts.

This event is part of Whose World? Whose Future? Whose Hope? Critical Fabulation for Pluriversal Futures, a public research series that brings together contemporary thinkers and artists whose work promotes abolitionist, anti-racist, anti-fascist, and anti-imperialist visions for articulating and actualising alternative worlds and futures. The series is curated by Lilly Markaki and supported by the Humanities and Arts Research Institute at Royal Holloway, University of London.
