All My Words Taste of Lead

TACO! presents an online talk from artist, writer and curator Cedar Lewisohn. Cedar explores themes from his latest publication, The Marduk Prophecy and recent research. Stemming from his interest in Jamaican culture and dub poetry, Cedar will touch on how patois has influenced common-use English, as well as appearing in dancehall, reggae and drill lyrics. Cedar is joined by Joan Hutchinson, Jamaican poet and teacher, and Paul Stephan, a Thamesmead-based drill artist, to discuss their work and use of language.
