Robert Hood, an acclaimed techno originator and founding member of Detroit’s Underground Resistance (UR) who created the commissioned soundtrack for artist Arthur Jafa’s APEX (2013), joins Jafa in conversation at the Museum of Contemporary Art on December 7 2024. They discuss the social, aesthetic, and technological relationships between techno and what Jafa refers to as a desire to create “a cinema capable of matching the power, beauty, and alienation of Black music.” The conversation is moderated by DeForrest Brown Jr., musician, representative of the campaign to Make Techno Black Again, and author of Assembling a Black Counter Culture (Primary Information, 2022), a comprehensive history of techno through a Black theoretical framework.
