[Commlist] CFP: Sonic Futures Conference-Extended deadline

We have extended the deadline for the Sonic Futures Conference.

*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 London South Bank University and 
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 25^th  2019* to: (c.minestrelli /at/ lcc.arts.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(c.minestrelli /at/ lcc.arts.ac.uk)>__



The Conference is open to the general public!



Best wishes,

Chiara
