ONLINE: Racial Equity In Madison Music
Luis Armacanqui
Rob Dz
Back when live music was a thing, Madison had real issues with equity in the music scene, with hip-hop artists and artists of color finding it difficult to book and perform shows. In 2018, performer and activist Rob Dz and Urban Community Arts Network president Karen Reece led a task force that created a comprehensive report on systemic racism in the music community, as well as steps to address inequities. Now, with the picture complicated by COVID-19, there needs to be a strategy for emerging from the pandemic with a plan. Reece and Dz host a virtual teach-in on how to improve the Madison scene; the first 100 people can register to join on Zoom, or view a livestream on UCAN's Facebook page.
