Please join the Public Art Fund for a conversation between artist Torkwase Dyson and scholar Daphne A. Brooks as they discuss Akua, the artist’s first public project in New York City, and the sound research that bridges their respective crafts. Together, they will discuss Dyson’s architectural pavilion, on view in Brooklyn Bridge Park, as a porous encounter between sound, place, and history. The speakers will connect Brooks’s academic chronicling of Black female musicians to the seismic sonic landscapes found in Dyson’s compositions for Akua.
Attend in person at The Cooper Union’s Great Hall. Registration is required, and capacity is limited. Seating is first come, first served, so please arrive early. Your registration does not guarantee a seat. Doors will close at 6:45pm.
