heARTburn Civic Arts Meet-Up

How can music foster connection and community? At this session, we’ll talk with Schondra Aytch and Oscar Heard about the ways their work does just that. Then we’ll “pass the aux” and make art & zines inspired by what we learn about each other through the music that moves us…

WHEN I HAVE THE AUX
When most people think of “The Aux,” they likely imagine sharing music with friends, usually on an aimless night drive. But what if we made it more intentional? In this session, we’ll ask attendees to share a song that is special to them. After the song plays, they can explain why they chose that song and why it resonates. The goal of this practice is to get a look into the perspective/worldview of someone through a carefully curated song. This process prompts intentional conversation about how music amplifies who we are and what we can learn from it.
