What's Going On: Notes on Sonic Blackness and the Idea of 9/11 Music

The 2024 William Hammond Lecture on the American Tradition will host Michael B. Gillespie, Associate Professor of Cinema Studies at NYU. Focused on a series of music recordings and performances, the talk centers on the sonic dimensions of the art of blackness. Gillespie will consider the irreconcilable and generative ways that a distinct circuit of songs proffers an exquisite series of disputes regarding nation, citizenship, memorialization and pleasure. A reception will follow.
