Black Voice, Red Record: An Interview with Kristin Moriah (Post)

Posted

As sound scholars, we can sometimes take for granted the existence of a sonic trace to blow open our research.

Kristin’s research examines Black performance and recording, spanning from Black feminist political mobilization against lynching in the United States to African-American performers in Berlin during the fin-de-siècle. We discussed the intrinsic relationship between Black activism and Black soundscapes via music, poetics, and oration, and its importance toward liberation during this pertinent contemporary moment.
