CIDRAL Online Events - Spring 2021 (Semester Two)

Key Ideas Seminars Kevin Malone, ‘Climate Emergency Music, Art and Activism: Artivism’

Kevin Malone, Reader in Composition, participated in his first protest in 1976, wrote his first environment piece, “Acid Rain Dance”, in 1990, and has been searching for increasingly effective ways to combine activism and “art-music”. The first half of this entertaining seminar will feature music, film clips, images and inconvenient truths about the climate emergency, music and art: what works, what doesn’t. The second half will have topic-lead discussions, and a general Q&A. If you have some art-activism to share, bring it along! <> To prepare, please read the attached document from Amika George’s 2021 book “Make It Happen”, and watch the premiere performance of “The People Protesting Drum Out Bigly Covfefe” for pianist and pink pussy hats at www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NOvK2n1XnU
