Elvis has finally left the building?

WOENSDAG 5 NOVEMBER 2014 - FREE ENTRANCE!

Is your taste in music racist? Unless you spend your days listening to Nazi punk while strapping the white laces of your Dr. Martins, you probably don’t think so! Music brings people together, as the common saying goes. In reality however, our taste in music is actually less innocent than we would expect at first glance. While attending a rock show for instance, you might notice that the audiences there (and the bands as well) are predominantly white (and male).

Rap concerts on the other hand seem to attract a crowd which is more multicultural and diverse. Unlike some of our racial physical aspects, our taste isn’t given to us by birth, so what exactly makes music and race-ethnicity stick together in such a way? And since Elvis Presley “whitewashed” rock music in the 1950s, what has changed? Is there still much inequality in music scenes or is Elvis finally leaving the building?

The department of Arts and Culture Studies, Erasmus SG, WORM, City of Rotterdam, NWO, Pantropical organize an interactive debate evening regarding this relevant and interesting theme.
