The Music That Makes Us was conceived and organized with the PSU Art and Social Practice MFA Program in collaboration with music related partners from the Kenton neighborhood, where Disjecta is located. Community members with musical practices were invited to collaborate on an exhibition of ephemera that explored the broad range of musical experiences in the neighborhood. The project culminated with a closing reception/festival of performances by the musicians featured in the exhibition, ranging from local church and school choirs to bands and individual artists.
