CX Mic Check: Rant as Performance · A Participatory Salon by CX Members

  • CX 54 Crosby Street New York, NY, 10012 United States (map)

With Douglas Rushkoff

Doors 7:00PM · Show 7:30PM

Every counterculture has its live, spoken-word scene. Beatniks cafes, Harlem Renaissance, poetry slams, comedy clubs, gay bath houses, or the Moth, all the way back to Homer. We’re going to see if we can create a setting for one to emerge in 2020’s Soho.

Join us on Tuesday December 17th for CX’s first Open Mic Night, featuring 10-minute rants from CX members on intellectual rabbit holes of their choosing.

Rants include:

  • On Being Seen and Surveilled

  • Deez Damn Dems

  • The Dirty Secrets No One Believes About TV News

  • Stop Punishing Men for the Karma of Their Chromosomes

  • Enochian Magic: Is there a There There?

  • Vibe Dynamics

  • The Weight of My Mask: A Live Confession

The evening is moderated by Douglas Rushkoff, a CX Scholar-in-Residence, the author of more than 20 books on media and society, and host of the Team Human podcast recorded live at the CX every month.
