Jazz | Jazz Live from Harlem: Positive Knowledge (in-person and online)


“Positive Knowledge” is a performance duo that features multi-instrumentalist Oluyemi Thomas (bass clarinet, saxophones and percussion) and Ijeoma Thomas (voice and percussion). Their compositions emerge from a long, intense, and ongoing involvement with American improvisational and jazz traditions, as reconfigured through their participation in the musical life of other cultures. Both performers have undertaken extended musical travels, in sub-Saharan and northern Africa, the Middle East, and South America (particularly Brazil), as well as Europe and North America. For many listeners, their performances themselves resemble a journey, though not to any known places. The works of “Positive Knowledge” undertake an ecstatic quest of the spirit, seeking the uncommon sounds of sense, correspondence, and borderless harmony. For this concert, the duo will be accompanied by bassist Hilliard Greene and drummer Pheeron akLaff.

Opening Reception | When Angels Speak of Love: Art That Repurposes Pantyhose


This exhibition features sculptures and installations repurposing women’s pantyhose into haunting forms. A story lies between each stitch, weave of the fabric, and unassuming garment. The consumerist nature of textiles often overshadows the darker and often violent narratives of the fabrics themselves. The nuances, histories, and perspectives of cloth are dismantled in an amalgamation of the exquisite works of Los Angeles’s Rebecka Jackson and South African artist Turiya Magadlela.

Book Discussion | Oh God, the Sun Goes: Mystery in the Sky


The sun has disappeared from the sky. No one can explain where it has gone, but one wayward traveler is determined to try. As our unnamed narrator begins his odyssey across the parched landscapes of the American Southwest, he is drawn into a web of illusion and mystery, a shifting astral mindscape that shimmers with the aftermath of loss—and the promise of redemption. Oh God, the Sun Goes is David Connor's hallucinatory and deadpan picaresque that suddenly swerves into a love story of soaring poignance. Truly “the stuff that dreams are made of” – or maybe nightmares?

His music is defined by wistful wordplay and sonic experimentation, often breaking down the materials of instruments like the guitar to create exciting new sounds. Also performing is Grammy-nominated Cimafunk, whose music infuses classical Cuban rhythms with afrobeat, funk, and hip-hop. Latin Grammy-nominated Uruguayan-Argentine singer Julieta Rada opens. About the Artists Jorge Drexler is an Uruguayan musician and singer-songwriter with a long professional career in music and performing arts. Over a 30 year career, he has recorded fourteen studio albums and has toured all over the world, which has allowed him to know and appreciate many territories and cultures.

His live show is a celebration of groove and an unforgettable sonic and bodily experience. Cimafunk is redefining contemporary Cuban music as well as Afro-Latin identity and the fusion of black cultures. His latest album, El Alimento, was nominated at the 2023 Grammy Awards for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album.  Julieta Rada started her career singing at the age of 16. Since then she performed on stages around the world with internationally acclaimed artists such as Fito Paez, Charly García, Hugo Fattoruso, Ruben Rada, Ciro y Los Persas, Illya Kuriaki and the Valderramas, La Vela Puerca, Joss Stone, among others, as well as her own solo project.
