Description

McKenzie Wark is an Australian born writer, critical theory professor, and techno raver currently living in NYC. Her latest book, Raving, thinks deeply about dancing, dissociation, drugs, bodies, and identity whilst McKenzie, 61 and recently transitioned, navigates her way through the queer techno spaces of Bushwick, Brooklyn. We talk about experimenting with language and writing, bodies and the beat, smart vs. stupid drugs, transness, Kathy Acker, cultural theory, and McKenzie's extraordinary journey from growing up in an Australian mining town to the bleeding edge of the NYC underground. Hosted by Vivian Host (aka DJ Star Eyes). For more info and extras, visit Ravetothegrave.org or Instagram @ravetothe.grave.
