Le Mardi Gras Collective

Their first meet-up was at Le Mardi Gras bar in Pittsburgh, so this self-styled "listening collective" memorialized it by using the name. They meet irregularly to play music and talk about what they hear, understanding that music can be examined socially as a form of theorizing, and the collective includes thinkers such as Fred Moten, Stefano Harney, Dhanveer Brar Singh, Fumi Okiji, Ronald Rose-Antoinette, Louis Moreno, Paul Rekret and Edward George.
