DESCRIPTION:Session Description:\n\nSocieties increasingly demand rapid ada
 ptation. Accelerated change unfolds while the non-economic foundations of 
 social life are strained\, even as they are expected to provide stability 
 and cohesion. The felt experience of being pulled away from familiar pract
 ices by forces that move faster than people can regain their footing is gr
 ounds for resistance. It is in that context that risk imaginaries respond 
 to potential futures shaped by social losses that institutions cannot or w
 ill not repair. Musical resistance\, exemplified in the legacy of Casablan
 ca’s Nass El Ghiwane\, demonstrates how public culture can reclaim direc
 tion and name dangers that rarely rise to public priority. The Ghiwani fra
 ming offers a lens for explaining how perpetual economic growth and market
  arbitration have marginalized lived experience and suppressed alternative
  shared understandings of societal risk.\n\nRegister here (If you are atte
