On Thurs. 29 October, join us for a podcast listening party and dialogue event!
The ACAM Dialogues 2020/21 is excited to introduce “Flow of Thoughts,” a podcast episode written and recorded by ACAM alumni Jacqueline Sarvini with production assistance by Moses Caliboso.
This pilot episode comes out of Jackie’s experience processing emotions around the global pandemic. Jackie returned to the music of her youth, in turn coming across the album SAWAYAMA by British-Japanese artist Rina Sawayama, an artpop extravaganza of colliding identity crises and reconciliations amidst a sonic palette of early 2000s pop music. What follows is Jackie’s exploration within her own relationship to Rina Sawayama and the ever shifting landscape of racialization in pop music. A talk that is equal parts memoir, equal parts cultural analysis, ACAM is proud to present Jackie’s work as the first episode of the ACAM Podcast.
The listening party will be followed by an informal conversation about the themes and ideas surrounding and within the podcast, the music that has fuelled our quarantine lives and our youth, race and and pop music, and other topics.
