Events Description
The Phil Lind Initiative returns to UBC in 2024 with Pop Politics: Pop Culture and Political Life in the United States— a novel and nuanced exploration of how pop culture has influenced and shaped how we understand, experience, and practice politics in the United States.
February 15: Suleika Jaouad & Jon Batiste
Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Jon Batiste and Emmy Award-winning journalist Suleika Jaouad discuss art and creative expression as an act of survival and connection. Celebrated artists and life partners, the talk will touch on their recent 2023 Netflix documentary American Symphony, the deeply personal writing and health struggles of Jaouad, and the foundational philosophy behind Batiste’s latest album World Music Radio, which challenges the borders we draw between musical genres, artistic disciplines, and communities of people themselves.
