RSVP HERE: https://rsvp.link/vs1SNBlack Rock Books and the Sad Dads Book Club are thrilled to welcome writer, curator, and cultural force Brandon Stosuy for an in-depth conversation about his career, creative philosophy, and latest book, "Sad Happens."
Brandon has spent decades shaping the cultural landscape through his writing, editorial work, and curatorial projects. As a former editor at Pitchfork, Stereogum, and The Believer, he played a key role in defining modern music and arts journalism, championing emerging voices while exploring the deeper intersections between creativity, identity, and culture. He is the co-founder of The Creative Independent, a resource for artists offering wisdom and guidance on navigating creative careers, and has worked extensively with institutions like MoMA PS1, the Broad Museum, and the Guggenheim.
His books span multiple genres, from practical guides on creativity ("Make Time for Creativity," "How to Fail Successfully") to his beloved children’s book "Music Is...," which introduces young readers to the joy and diversity of sound. His latest work, "Sad Happens," continues his thoughtful approach, exploring the realities of emotional resilience and the ways we process and move through difficult experiences.
Beyond writing, Brandon has curated boundary-pushing events such as Basilica SoundScape, blending literature, music, and art into immersive experiences. His ability to bridge creative disciplines and foster meaningful dialogue has made him one of the most influential voices in contemporary culture.
Join us for an evening of conversation as we dive into his career, his approach to writing and curation, and the ways in which creativity shapes and sustains us.
