On the occasion of Tiran Willemse’s moving image and sound-focused exhibition, Dweller, please join us for a performance-lecture by musician and scholar, Jessie Cox. Cox will present on his recently published book Sounds of Black Switzerland: Blackness, Music, and Unthought Voices, pairing his discursive interventions with a musical performance. Attending to the historical inaudibility of Black Swiss voices, Cox looks to the ways music and sound refigure how we listen to and relate with the world.
