Photography Through the Lens of AI

Join us for a sonic lecture by Lynnée Denise,

 based on a selection of photographs from the current exhibition 

 by Janette Beckman. As a DJ, scholar and writer, 

present a performative lecture and listening session exploring ideas on gender, sexuality, race and technology. We will learn about musical-cross pollination in the 1980s through a diasporic lens by analysing critical songs, album covers, and visual culture.
