*Sonic Futures:*

*Performing Identity in the 'Global' City*

*(25 April at London College of Communication, Elephant and Castle, London)*

The idea for this one-day conference stems from a series of workshops, 
/Sonic Futures: Identity and Sustainability through Music and 
Performance/, supported by London College of Communication (Teaching and 
Learning Fund) in collaboration with May Project Gardens**(Hip 
Hop Garden). Adopting a mixed-method approach, this pilot project sought 
to engage students from LCC in a series of workshops that explored the 
connections between social issues (e.g. social cohesion, participatory 
and sustainable practices and active citizenry, to name a few), politics 
and identity formations at the intersections of class, ethnicity, race, 
gender and the environment. Primarily, this project aimed to instigate 
critical thinking and reflections on cultural practices and genre 
through performance in general and Hip Hop music and culture in 
particular. Gardening is connected to questions of psycho-physical 
wellbeing, community building and sustainability in the global city. 
Overall, Hip Hop Critical Pedagogies provided a productive template that 
helped combine all these different aspects. Considering the nature and 
the objectives of these activities, the students who participated in the 
programme decided to actively work towards an event that could reflect 
on the critical questions raised during the workshops.

The aim of the conference is thus to connect participants, exchange 
knowledge(s), start dialogues and motivate students to be critical thinkers.

We welcome 15-minute presentations, academic papers, performances, and 
contributions from a wide variety of disciplines, practice areas and 
backgrounds, but with a main interest in exploring Hip Hop critical 
pedagogies along with:

-Diversity, inclusion, social justice

-Gardening and wellbeing in the global city

-Indigenous knowledge(s), science and technology

-Arts, drugs and mental health

-Youth and mental health

-Hip Hop feminisms and Hip Hop and Gender

-Hip Hop, race and class

-Hip Hop and Indigenous knowledges

-Building communities, regeneration and gentrification

-Hip Hop mobilities and diasporas

-Digital identities and social media platforms

Please send a proposal of no more than 200 words and a 50-word bio no 
later than March 15^th  2019 to: (c.minestrelli /at/ lcc.arts.ac.uk)
