The American Musicological Society is proud to present an unforgettable performance and lectureby Chicago musician/artist Damon Locks. As the leader of the critically acclaimed Black Monument Ensemble, Locks is one of the most exciting Afrofuturist artists in America. At this event, Locks will explore how his studies of 1970s Afrofuturist styles influences his music, art, and philosophy. He will share hisresults from research in the archives of Sun Ra and other legendary Black American musicians and demonstrate how he recreates their performance styles, costumes, and sounds in his music and art. Throughout the evening, members of Black Monument Ensemble will perform both oldfavorites and new works. Join us at the Rubloff Auditorium at the Art Institute of Chicago for this special opportunity to hear about Locks' method and enjoy his music! | ||
