NOIZ: An Evening of Words, Sounds + Ideas

Hosted by Assistant Professor and hip hop artist akua naru, the evening features live student performances, a DJ set, and an intimate conversation with guest artist/performer Edd Wheeler: pioneering Brazilian rapper, founding member of As Damas do Rap, the first female Hip Hop group in Rio de Janeiro, and practicing lawyer and organizer whose life and work embody the transformative power of the emcee as witness, visionary, and change agent. NOIZ invites the community into a night of sound, story, and radical thought.
These events are made possible through a dynamic collaboration across the UC Santa Cruz community, bringing together Creative Technologies, the Department of Music, the Hip Hop Lab, the Office for DEI, and Porter College.
