New Red Order and Cahokia Intertribal Noise Symposium Presents: "The Gathering"
#fhtogglels/Details/Close/ib
New Red Order and Cahokia Intertribal Noise Symposium Presents: The Gathering, an innovative live event format that splits the difference between the Gathering of Nations Pow Wow and the Gathering of the Juggalos. Combining public assembly, academic symposium, music festival, and film screening, the two day event will conjure new pasts and ancient futures of the-place-currently-called St. Louis. Artists, activists and academics share the line-up with rappers and noise musicians in order to present a discursive and hallucinatory trip towards collectively convoking crimes against reality.
