Diasporic Sound: Migration, Resilience, and Remix SOLD OUT

Activist, DJ, and A/P/A Institute at NYU Artist-in-Residence Ushka (Thanushka Yakupitiyage) curates a conversation on the impact that migrations from South Asia, Africa, South America, and the Caribbean have had on the creation of diasporic, border-traversing sounds. Panelists discuss the role of globalization and digital culture in expanding the reach of diasporic music at the same time that many nation states tighten their borders and restrict the flow of migrants. Featuring Ana C. Calle / LaPhDj (University of Texas, Austin), Rekha Malhotra / DJ Rekha (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Suzanne Persard (Emory University), and Boima Tucker / Chief Boima (Africa is a Country / INTLBLK).

No Borders, an after-party and fundraiser featuring DJs sets by Ushka, Oscar Nñ‏, Riobamba, Chief Boima, and DJ Rekha and a performance TBA, follows. All proceeds will go to the Immigrant Defense Project, Families for Freedom, and New Sanctuary Coalition of NYC. Tickets to the after-party can be purchased here.
