The mission of law & disorder is to expose, agitate and build a new world where all of us can thrive. But how do we get there? How do we build a world many of us have only seen in our dreams? That’s where we believe the artists come in. So, each week we feature an artist, holding down a weekly residency with us, helping us to imagine a different, more liberated world.

This week’s Resistance in Residence artist is pianist, trumpeter, composer, and music producer who dabbles on the borders of jazz and hip hop, Javier Santiago.
