Cultural historian @JDKun discussed how music and art foster dialogue at @NUQatar’s Dean's Global Forum. Drawing from his DJ experience, he highlighted how music helps us "juggle differences" and find connection, while also reflecting on LA as a cultural hub shaped by migration.

Earlier this year, cultural historian Josh Kun led a unique sonic tour of Sunset Boulevard inspired by Ed Ruscha’s “Every Building on the Sunset Strip,” co-presented by @lacma and Getty.
