Thinking with Music about Police Racism, State Violence and Social Justice
Lambros Fatsis
Borrowing Les Black’s memorable phrase ‘thinking with music’ this recording draws and reflects on a selection of nine roots reggae tracks in order to think about police racism, state violence and social justice. Lambros Fatsis is a Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Brighton. When he doesn’t teach or write he plays all-vinyl DJ sets of Afro-Caribbean and reggae music from the late 1950s to the late 1970s as Boulevard Soundsystem.
Cha Cha Chats! – Episode 1
Arantza Ozaeta Cortázar and Álvaro Martín Fidalgo in conversation with Anna and Eugeni Bach
Cha Cha Chats! a series of conversations curated by Arantza Ozaeta Cortázar and Álvaro Martín Fidalgo, bring together artists and architects who blur disciplinary boundaries within their practices. Topics will include, but not be limited to: fictional realities, archaeologies of future, kitsch and spectacle, loss of resolution and texture in digital communication. Following the Chachachá rhythm, the tone of the sessions will be placid, roguish and suggestive. Arantza Ozaeta Cortazar and Alvaro Martin Fidalgo are architects, educators and founding partners of the Madrid-based office SOF-T, that develops architectural spaces in environments that connect local identity with contemporary culture. In addition to their work as visiting lecturers internationally, they have taught at the AA Intermediate and Visiting School programmes, and teach at the Madrid Polytechnic ETSAM and IE School of Architecture and Design. They are recognised as one of the most promising young architectural practices in Europe, and their work is international in scope, being recognised and published on multiple occasions.
