Media Studies students are in charge of the Youtube stream in the control room.
Paul will combine sound (including a live DJ mix), images, material from the website, and text. Adopting a self-reflexive creative approach and cueing samples from interviews and the poets featured in his book, his presentation promises a captivating journey through the dynamic world of Black creativity in Canada.
