Tahj Lakey is a recording artist, storyteller, and community curator from Inglewood, CA who explores personal/family narrative as a baseline for understanding [Black] radical tradition and futurist world-building. Using songwriting as a storytelling vehicle, Tahj's music has been featured in hit shows like Hulu's Reasonable Doubt. He is a Yale graduate, founder of "Herb N’ Sound" – a community-based, music enterprise promoting food justice – and co-founder of New Nuclear Media, a children’s educational media company.
“This project is an audio-visual reflection of ‘home’ and a reclamation of history lost in transition. By placing disparate family archives in conversation through visual abstraction and sonic storytelling, this exploration remixes fragments of memory and music to deconstruct, reassemble, and scaffold new meaning. ‘Home: the remix’ challenges both artist and audience to consider how placehood impacts identity, and how music colors memory. During the CultureHub residency, I seek to blend the spiritual and temporal - the analog and the digital - into an immersive experience.”
