Sonic Spaces: Todd Craig “K for the Way” audiobook launch

Part of NYC PIT Pop-Up’s inaugural Sonic Spaces series exploring the intersection of sound/music with public interest technology.

On Monday April 20th at 6pm, writer/educator/DJ Todd Craig will be in dialogue with Chenjerai Kumanyika to celebrate the audiobook release of his recent book K for the Way. Craig’s book establishes and investigates the function of DJ rhetoric and literacy, illuminating the DJ as a fruitful example for (re)envisioning approaches to writing, research, and analysis in contemporary educational settings. Because it is widely recognized that the DJ was the catalyst for the creation of Hip Hop culture, this book begins a new conversation in which Hip Hop DJs introduce ideas about poetics and language formation through the modes, practices, and techniques they engage in on a daily basis.

The event will allow for a limited in-person capacity and will be livestreamed. RSVP here to attend.
