SUMMARY:[FAN] The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are Tariq Trotter\, aka Black Thought
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 16\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are\,\na FAN webinar featuring Tariq Trotter\, aka Black Thought\, in conversation with Theaster Gates. \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of The Upcycled Self to randomly selected Zoom\nattendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/TrotterFANWebinar\n \nToday Tariq Trotter—better known as Black Thought—is the platinum-selling\, three-time Grammy-winning cofounder\nof The Roots\, and one of the most exhilaratingly skillful and profound rappers the culture has ever\nproduced. But his story begins with a tragedy: as a child\, Trotter burned down his family’s home. The years that\nfollowed are the story of a life snatched from the flames\, forged in fire. \nIn The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are\, Trotter doesn’t just narrate a riveting and\nmoving portrait of the artist as a young man but gives readers a courageous model of what it means to live an\nexamined life. In vivid vignettes\, he tells the dramatic stories of the four powerful relationships that shaped\nhim—community\, friends\, art\, and family—each a complex weave of love\, discovery\, trauma\, and loss. \nBut beyond offering the compellingly poetic account of one artist’s creative and emotional origins\, Trotter\nexplores the vital questions we all must confront about our formative years: How can we see the story of our\nyoung lives clearly? How do we use that story to understand who we’ve become? How do we forgive the people\nwho loved and hurt us? How do we rediscover and honor our first dreams? And finally\, what do we take forward\,\nwhat do we pass on\, what do we leave behind? This is the beautifully bluesy story of a boy genius’s coming of\nage that illuminates the redemptive power of the upcycle. \nTrotter is one of the most powerful voices in hip-hop and the winner of three NAACP Image Awards and leads the\nhouse band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\, joined by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson (FAN ’21)\, cofounder\nof The Roots. \nTrotter will be in conversation with artist\, archivist\, and curator Theaster Gates\, a professor at the University of\nChicago in the Department of Visual Arts and the College. Prof. Gates creates work that focuses on space theory\nand land development\, sculpture\, and performance. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
