For the next event in the Fall 2020 CCAM Sound Art Series we are excited to present an online artist talk with Mendi + Keith Obadike this Friday November 13th from 7-8PM EST.

Mendi + Keith make music, art and literature. Their early works include The Sour Thunder, an Internet opera (Bridge Records), Crosstalk: American Speech Music (Bridge Records), Black.Net.Art Actions, a suite of new media (internet art) works (published in re:skin on M.I.T Press), Big House / Disclosure, a 200-hour public sound installation (Northwestern University), Phonotype, a book & CD of media artworks, and a poetry collection, Armor and Flesh (Lotus Press). They have contributed sounds/music to projects by a wide range of artists including loops for neo-soul singer D’Angelo’s first album and a score for playwright Anna Deavere Smith at the Lincoln Center Institute.

They will discuss their previous work and artistic process as well as well as discuss upcoming projects and take questions from the audience.

This event is free and open to all.
