In partnership with Sista Rhythm aka Dr. Adrienne Kennedy, Straight Through is a live, immersive sound experience that collapses time through deep listening. Rooted in Black sonic traditions and experimental practice, this offering invites audiences into a shared auditory ritual—where past, present, and future converge. 

Curated by The Sacred Spaces Collective, Atemporal: The Listening Room centers sound as a site of memory, healing, and transcendence. This event is guided by the visionary work of Sista Rhythm and Straight Through.


The Black Madonna & Other Sacred Spaces is a multidisciplinary exhibition and cultural experience that centers healing, ancestral memory, and sacred creative practice within Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities.
