Y’all Don’t Wanna Hear me (You Just Wanna Dance)

Thu February 6, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Performance by Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste followed by a discussion with Robyn Maynard.

In Y’all Don’t Wanna Hear Me (You Just Wanna Dance), Toussaint-Baptiste uses a Long-Range Acoustic Device against its intended purpose of crowd dispersal, alternatively presenting it as a technology that might unite and even guide a crowd through sound. Over the course of the device’s battery life, Toussaint-Baptiste uses its built-in microphone to speak about their artistic practice, recite research into the device’s history, and speculate on alternative uses of this harmful technology. The performance culminates with a collective dance, guided by the directional sound of the speaker.

Accessibility:  This performance will take place across physically accessible locations on campus, and will conclude indoors in the CCT Atrium, where seating will be available. The CCT building features accessible washrooms, and all-gender washrooms on the third floor.

Registration required. 

Black at UTM is an umbrella initiative that emerged from U of T’s Anti-Black Racism Task Force with a focus on leading transformative changes that promote Black Flourishing and Inclusive Excellence among UTM’s Black communities by dismantling patterns of anti-Black racism and injustice.
