NNAMDI OGBONNAYA is a multi-instrumentalist composer, producer, and performer. His musical identity was forged in the DIY community of Chicago. Relentless participation in numerous musical projects bridged genres and created inroads between scenes. Near constant activity quickly made him a locus of gravity in the community. Constant participation quickly opened channels to a broad cross-section of the arts world. Nnamdi has toured the USA, Mexico Europe and Canada with projects ranging from punk to jazz. A full accounting of his musical activity over the last eight years includes approximately 15 bands and dozens of tours. All the while, Nnamdi has not only released a stream of records and EPs under his name and the ironic moniker “Nnamdi’s Sooper Dooper Secret Side Project”, but also runs his own label called SOOPER Records.
His solo styling combines hip-hop, experimental rock, gospel, and jazz. His songs can often contain a sense of satire that is just as humorous as it is critical. Nnamdi’s lyrical insights draw on the diversity of his cultural experience as a Black, Jewish, first generation Nigerian-American. His work is characterized by the coupling of sophisticated compositional structures with pop-music motifs. Nnamdi’s latest record DROOL is his most mature and accessible work to date.
Performing with:
Sen Morimoto is a multi-instrumentalist composer and songwriter born in Kyoto, Japan and currently based in Chicago. He moved to Massachusetts at a young age where he began a life-long study of jazz saxophone. Horn in hand, Morimoto cut his teeth as a songwriter in the DIY hip-hop community of Western Massachusetts. He eventually moved to Chicago where he refined his sound while maintaining a consistent presence in the music culture by producing for and collaborating with artists including Joseph Chilliams (Pivot Gang), KAINA, Qari, and Nnamdi Ogbonnaya. Morimoto’s powerful grasp of jazz composition, pop songwriting, and hip-hop styling are fully articulated as the extraordinary sound of an unrivaled talent on Cannonball!, an LP that he wrote, arranged, and produced by himself.

Join Oregon Humanities for a conversation with Eli Saslow, a Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter for the Washington Postand author of Rising Out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist. In this new book, Saslow explores the story of Derek Black, once a prominent young advocate for white supremacy, who came to question and, eventually, renounce his worldview after concerted efforts by his college classmates to expose him to experiences, history, and science that he had previously ignored. Joining him for this conversation is Emily Harris, reporter and producer for the Center for Investigative Reporting’s Reveal podcast. Read more about this event.

We are thrilled to present local R&B favorite Chanti Darling with support from Oakland's psych-pop tinged R&B outfit Bells Atlas!
Aesthetically, Chanti Darling melds '80s retro-futurist iconography with a late-night summertime vibe; THE RNB
is a place of neon lights and palm fronds, washed in the pastels of dusk and dawn. Together, Chanti Darling is
undeniable and immersive. This has not gone unnoticed in the Pacific Northwest – and beyond. Voted
Portland’s “Best New Band” in a poll held by Willamette Week, the band has already performed at the
Pickathon, Treefort, and What The Festival events, played a host of shows with Hercules &Love Affair, been
featured in Vice and Dope, and shared the stage with NAO as part of Red Bull Sound Select.
“This record is built upon a sort of string theory of RNB sounds” says Trü. “THE RNB is a type of place that
exists in another plane. It’s another dimension. A place beyond dreaming that is the totality of your highest
vibration. All the rest though… is just mundane.”

South Central recording and visual artist, Jared Lee, was the "different kid" but don't expect a sob story of the struggle and misunderstanding. He wore it on his sleeve with pride, understood he was misunderstood and was still respected by his peers for being exactly who he is, "Your Friendly Neighborhood, Duck".
After graduating high school, he ventured off to bay area's Academy of Arts where he honed his artistic talents and became the artist we now know as Duckwrth, a named derived from his mother's maiden name.
He started developing a cult fan base by appearing on popular TeamBackPack Youtube videos and by releasing mixtapes like "Ducktape", "Taxfree V1" and his 2015 collaboration with hip hop producer, The Kickdrums titled "Nowhere".
In 2016, he released his critically acclaimed debut LP, "I’M UUGLY", a project that merged the most unique parts of Duckwrth’s talents to create a sound and visual palette that indicates he had not only grown as an artist but is well on his way to being a music icon and visionary for his generation.
Now, "an XTRA UUGLY Mixtape" vows to take that a step further blending genres from rock to hip hop to funk and soul and incorporating live contributions from his favorite long time collaborators. Bringing a unique identity of masculinity and femininity to his music, Duckwrth's vivacious and free-spirited approach has earned him comparisons to a millennial Prince of Jimi Hendrix. This embrace of individuality and passion to push his art into unknown territory has led Duckwrth to create his most ambitious body of work yet, an XTRA UUGLY Mixtape.
He is adamant about being hands on in the visual perception promoted to the world through his music. He is the illustrator of all of the artwork accompanying the projects he has released, the creative force behind the videos he puts out, has created branding and artwork for other artist, had his work displayed at galleries in the bay area and recently launched his popular brand B.O.Y., a campaign that supports blurring the gender lines, discourages gender biases and encourages fans and friends to take pride in B.eing O.nly Y.ou.

Not Sorry: Feminist Experimental Film from the 1970s to Today
With Opening soundtracks provided by XRAY.FM DJs
What is feminist experimental film? How is it feminist, and what makes it experimental? Through this four-program series, we explore these questions, inspired by the new text Film Feminisms: A Global Introduction co-written by PSU film professor Dr. Kristin Lené Hole and Dr. Dijana Jelača. Taking place each Sunday evening in October, Not Sorry presents a survey of short works spanning from the 1970s to today with an explicit intent on questioning the largely white male canon of experimental film while positioning different modes of experimentation within both international and contemporary terms.
The program will include more well-known works like Peggy Ahwesh’s She Puppet (2001) that repurposes footage of video game character Lara Croft; under-recognized landmarks like Black feminist work from LA Rebellion filmmaker Barbara McCullough, Water Ritual #1: An Urban Rite of Purification (1979); and contemporary pieces like the hand-manipulated 16mm confessional films Solitary Acts #5 (2015) and Her Silent Seaming (2014) from Turkish-American filmmaker Nazli Dinçel, who will be in attendance October 14. Portland-based artists Ariella Tai, Vanessa Renwick, Julie Perini, and Hannah Piper Burns will also be represented in the series, bringing a local perspective to the film selections and discussions.
Tickets and the complete schedule available here.
