Critical Whiteness & Cultural Appropriation in the Club Context

In this workshop, Jenifa and Vicky aim to delve deeply into the complex structures of coloniality within the music industry and club scene and critically examine how cultural appropriation occurs in these contexts. They also intend to scrutinize the structures of the club industry and the power dynamics underlying them, with the goal of incorporating anti-racist perspectives in the future. In doing so, they draw on the Critical Whiteness framework as part of their anti-racist work.

Jen and Vicky are two friends who love hanging out together, going out together, and also doing political education work together. From a Black, feminist perspective, they explore topics such as community accountability and anti-racist perspectives on club culture. Tuesday, February 13, 2024, 3:00–7:00 p.m., including a 30-minute break
