This hybrid workshop allows artists to explore, experiment and study the musical, philosophical, and spiritual work of Dr. Yusef Lateef. Curated by Detroit's LuFuki and Chicago’s Angel Bat Dawid and Dr. Adam Zanolini, Autophysiopsychic Millennium is a creative research music collective of ten artists that explore, experiment, and study the music methodology and philosophical and spiritual works of the late Dr. Yusef Lateef.
