engAGE, Centre for Research on Aging, invites you to a second “joyshop” in honour of Black History Month.
Join us for Feeling the Music: Embodied Listening Through Haptics, workshop led by Warsame Isse that invites you to feel the music via touch.
Warsame is a Masters student in Media Studies at Concordia, and a student affiliated with engAGE, who is studying listening as a multisensorial experience.
This workshop is group-listening session where participants will listen and feel the vibrations of songs from various artists from the Black Diaspora and Montreal’s rich Black jazz history. Participants will be encouraged to recommend songs they would like to listen to.
We will not simply listen to the music but listen to each other as we share memories we have related to these songs.
Feeling the music will take place on Thursday, February 22, from 4 to 6 p.m., at 2155 Guy St. 6th Floor (room ER 66!). It is free. Snacks and beverages will be served.
Registration is required as space is limited.
