Forum featuring African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) Chairman Omali Yeshitela, African People’s Solidarity Committee Chairwoman Penny Hess and Uhuru Solidarity Movement Jesse Nevel, the Uhuru 3. On July 29, 2022, the FBI violently raided 7 Uhuru Movement offices and homes in 2 cities, falsely accusing this decades-old international Black Power organization of serving as pawns of the Russian government in their decades of work fighting for reparations and opposing U.S. wars. 81-year-old African People’s Socialist Party Chairman Omali Yeshitela is a former SNCC field organizer registering voters in Florida during the Civil Rights movement and has since traveled the world organizing for African unity and liberation. Hess and Nevel are leaders in the movement for white reparations to the black community working under the leadership of the APSP. The event will introduce Chairman Omali’s new book, “The Verdict is In: Reparations Now!” Discussion will be held on the upcoming November 4th Black People’s March on the White House and the building of the anti-colonial free speech movement.

Presented as part of the statewide California Festival: A Celebration of New Music, Project [BLANK]’s Composer Spotlight concert features recent chamber works by Laure Hiendl (b.1986, pronouns: they/he). Hiendl’s music is provocative, forward-thinking, and inherently political in the way that it considers the body in relation to music. Their eclectic influences pull from contemporary electronic dance music, taking digital sampling processes and recreating them with acoustic means. Central to the program is In Abeyance (2021), which takes the subtly shifting patterns produced by an electronic phasing sampler and produces them live with a lushly orchestrated chamber ensemble. Additionally, two works for voices and electronics will explore themes of gender, violence, and racial prejudice: 10 Bullets Through One Hole (2018), a challenging work that highlights the quasi-pornographic language used in firearm advertisements; and White Radiance TM (2020), a work for solo voice and instrumental ensemble that pulls its text from Jamaican philosopher and writer Sylvia Wynter’s meditation on Western standards of beauty – contrasting her powerful words with text taken from cosmetic advertisements.
