Designated Emphases

Collaborative Space Curation

The intentional design of environments where artists, scholars, and others can gather without the usual hierarchies or commercial pressures.

Interdisciplinary Art

Creative work that honors the way communities have always created — making new by mixing and remixing forms.

Cross-Genre Experimentation

The practice of moving freely between and beyond established artistic categories, to follow creative synergies across Hip Hop, jazz, R&B, the blues, spoken word, and more.

In the Lab

Research Collaborations

Interdisciplinary research groups that connect scholars, artists, and community members to explore art, health, and the humanities.

Archival Projects

Sonic installations that capture the frequencies and rhythms of everyday life, from underground performances to layered conversations at neighborhood block parties. What does it mean to record history?

Community Listening Sessions

Gatherings and lectures featuring leading academics and artists deeply invested in documenting the creative process and the conditions that allow for transformative art-making.
