SCZ (pronounced seize) is part of a North African and Jewish diaspora. They are an educator, scholar, cultural producer and mixed media artist whose work focuses on decolonization, Hip Hop, migration, identity and belonging. As a deejay, SCZ practices sonic weaving to create audio narratives, focusing on the sonics of space, the way sound migrates, the distance between sounds, and how sound is coded and blended to communicate knowledge to bodies in space. They often describes themself as young, angry and brown. They believe that as queer, diasporic persons of color, cultural production is the space where we can resist the violence of marginalization and begin to not only imagine decolonial relationships but actively put them into practice.
Scz is a co-founder of Rhythm Science Sounds an organization which uses event organizing, deejay and music production classes in the community as the foundations for building consciousness and practicing emancipatory politics.
