“Black Sounds: Seen, Heard, Felt” is an experiential event collaboratively designed by a group of Ohio State students to engage the senses of the broader Columbus community. Through a variety of workshops, hands-on activities, and live musical acts from local
Black artists, we hope to provide a space for a deeper appreciation of Black sonic cultures and the worlds they create.</div>
