Some See and Some Don't See Anything

Please join us on Monday, October 7th, from 11:30 AM - 1 PM at Rutgers-Newark for "Some See And Some Don't See Anything," a conversation and sonic exploration comparing and contrasting the 1969 Conklin Hall Student Uprising with current student activism centered around Palestinian liberation. 

 The event will be split into 2 sections: 

11:30 AM—12:10 PM, in the Dana Room on the 4th Floor of the Dana Library, a panel will host an intergenerational dialogue on the history of activism, both past and present, at Rutgers University between those who took part in and/or were present at the 1969 movement and the current Black student organization, Black Students for Liberation (BSL).

12:15 - 1 PM in the plaza between Dana Library and Conklin Hall, there will be a live performance by composer, producer, and performer Hprizm, who will be improvising and performing recorded sound from archival materials related to the 1969 liberation of Conklin Hall, as well as recorded sounds from contemporary campus protests, and live mixed music/sound/beats.

"Some See And Some Don't See Anything" is funded by the Center for Cultural Analysis as part of the 2024-2025 seminar Resonance: Sound Across the Disciplines, and is supported by the Rutgers-Newark Honors Living and Learning Community (HLLC).
