Poetics of Black Noise

"Poetics of Black Noise" explores how Black cultural expressions—like music, spoken word, and storytelling—use sound and silence to challenge dominant narratives and assert identity. It examines how Black artists creatively manipulate sound to evoke history, resistance, and resilience, turning noise and silence into powerful artistic tools. The work emphasizes that Black noise is not just disorder but a meaningful form of expression that disrupts and redefines societal perceptions, linking sound to broader issues of identity, memory, and social justice.
