Upcoming Events

In this talk, DJ, scholar, and writer Lynnée Denise will present a performative lecture and listening session highlighting and exploring ideas on gender, sexuality, race, technology, and musical-cross pollination in the 1980s through a Diasporic lens. Drawing on critical songs, album covers, visual culture, and select photographs from Janette Beckman's recent exhibition "Rebels" at FOAM in Amsterdam, Denise will demonstrate what she refers to as a "sound system of relations" to amplify key overlapping political and musical ideas that surfaced through the interfacing of punk culture, hip-hop, and disco.

BAD FAITH is a feature-length documentary that explores the dangerous rise of Christian Nationalism in the United States. Part archival chronicle, part exposé, the film reveals the secretive political machinery that has relentlessly sought to weaken and destroy American democracy in order to promote its authoritarian vision. Join MAJS for a screening of the film and a Q&A to follow.
