Presentation: Assembling a Black Counter-Culture

Referencing African-American political activist and auto worker James Boggs, Theodore Roszak’s Making of a Counter Culture and Alvin Toffler’s Third Wave, New York writer and musician DeForrest Brown Jr. will discuss the state of Black representation across the music industry, covering a general history of Black music (with a focus on techno) as it relates to the general development of on-the-ground music cultures. A book related to this talk will be published by DeForrest Brown Jr. with Primary Information in 2020.

The event is part of the INTER:FACE project commissioned by the Municipality of Kraków and Kraków Festival Office.
