The Aesthetics of Allá: A Sonidero Lecture

Josh Kun, Director, The Popular Music Project of the Norman Lear Center at USC, and the "Sonido Pirata DJs": Julio Morales and DJ Lengua.

Join us for a live, improvised musical lecture about mobile sound system DJs, or Sonideros who are shaping what Kun calls an aesthetics of allá‚ a way of using recorded sound and audio technology to engage with borderland and migration politics. In Spanish, allá is neither the here (aquí) nor there (allí) that we see. Allá is an "over there" that is not necessarily visible, a space we know is there but is not yet occupied or realized.
