Taking ’67 as its starting point, Sonic Rebellion comprises two integrated parts: a material history of Detroit music since the late-sixties and contemporary artworks inhabiting the intersections of visual art, music, protest, and the politics of identity. A large-scale group exhibition, Sonic Rebellion features works by renowned local, national, and international artists. All of the artworks reflect themes of music and resistance, connecting Detroit’s unique history with underlying racial, social, and economic inequalities still persisting in this country and across the globe.
