NOIZ—April in Santa Cruz festival opening

NOIZ: An Evening of Words, Sounds + Ideas is a live gathering at the intersection of Hip Hop, activism, and the spoken word—a space where music meets testimony. 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.

This event is presented as part of the April in Santa Cruz Festival of Creative Music.
