Rhythms of Resistance

Rhythm is a survival skill and House is a home for all! In this groovy episode, Cricket gives a natural history of musicality, from bone flutes, to cave parties, to the TikTok dance industrial complex. Ashton welcomes us into the world of House music, unveiling it's origins in queer and Black history. We tie up this series with a nice little bow of hope, and a reminder that we have so many tools to keep us grounded when times are tough.Join our DiscordOut on Earth on Youtube!Works CitedChasteen, John Charles.
