DJ and music Professor King Britt was our Faculty Artist in Residence. King Britt collaborated with the Cross-Cultural Center and invited community to participate in select class sessions on Blacktronika: Afrofuturism in Electronic Music featuring interactive interview sessions with renowned musical artists. Special sound guests expressed their creative process and ways the social landscape of the time shaped their music and the industry. Additionally, King Britt partnered with UCSD’s ArtPower and the Cross-Cultural Center to bring digital exhibits and 2 nights of Sound of Humanity with musical producers.

Also, staff engaged with academic departments and faculty in areas of social equity consultations, trainings, campus-wide program planning such as UCSD’s first 21-Day Anti-Racism Challenge panel presentations, book presentation and reading groups, podcast, and cultural celebrations such as Asian and Pacific Islander American Heritage.
