If you’re wondering what that means,reports that for the next three years Solange will teach a course, host student workshops, and help faculty develop program offerings in music curation.
I’m sure every USC frat boy with a budding DJ career could benefit from this. But that’s not all a scholar in residence does. Solange will join as the second member of the Dean’s Creative Vanguard Program, a “wide-ranging group of distinguished music artists and creative leaders.” Artist and producer Raphael Saadiq, with whom Solange and Beyoncé have both collaborated, joined as the first in December. Solange will teach her course in collaboration with Saint Heron, a creative agency she started in 2013. The class is tentatively titled Records of Discovery: Methodologies for Music and Cultural Curatorial Practices and will, per the, “explore the process of constructing curatorial frameworks alongside the context, craft and creation of musical landscapes.” “I am a G.E.D. graduate. I was a teenage mom. I was pregnant with my son at 17, so I didn’t get to further my education in the classical sense,” Solange told the. “But I was really blessed and honored to have enriched these other parts of education through my art, through travel through the globalization of my life … so to be able to have access and broader tools as a scholar in residence, to enrich that and deepen that, is really so exciting for me.” Where do I sign up to audit?Balenciaga Designer Pierpaolo Piccioli on Meghan Markle and Leaving ValentinoBalenciaga Designer Pierpaolo Piccioli on Meghan Markle and Leaving ValentinoBalenciaga Designer Pierpaolo Piccioli on Meghan Markle and Leaving ValentinoBalancing college life and her first fashion campaigns, Apple Martin opens up about creativity, confidence, and carving out her own path.Saks’s “Holiday Your Way” campaign spotlights Meadow Walker, Julez Smith, Magnus Ferrell, and more in a celebration of individuality and style.Emilie Kiser Is ‘Not Ready’ to Share Her Grief On-CameraKylie Jenner Is Dabbling in Music As part of a campaign for Kylie Cosmetics, the reality star is sing-rapping with teal hair under her King Kylie moniker.As long as you’re being kind and reasonable, you don’t need to put a ton of labor into softening your language.After serving as the first and only female creative director at Dior, Maria Grazia Chiuri has signed on today as the creative director of Fendi.Your Daily Horoscope by Madame Clairevoyant: October 14, 2025*Sorry, there was a problem signing you up.
