Lecture | Black Folks from Babylon: Disappointment and Difference in the Key of Cairo Jazz
David Graham Du Bois’s 1975 novel …And Bid Him Sing narrates the mistranslations between Egypt’s symbolic place in the Black radical imaginary and the lived experiences of African American expatriates in Egypt during the Cold War. While laying bare the tense and tangled intersections of racial, religious, and nationalist identity formation in Egypt, Du Bois’s novel also mobilizes a jazz vernacular and rhythm as a language through which Egyptians and their Black American neighbors become socially, culturally, and politically legible to one another. In her talk, Professor Sophia Azeb situates Du Bois’s novel and the Cairene jazz scene he put to page as part of an Afro-Arab cultural archive of difference that reimagines the place of North Africa within a broader genealogy of the African Diaspora.

Opening Reception | Muses: Prints by Robert Calafiore
This is the artist’s first solo show with the gallery. Robert Calafiore employs custom, hand-built pinhole cameras to create large-scale, one-of-a-kind chromogenic prints. The primary subject matter, an impressive collection of decorative glassware inherited from his family, is assembled by stacking, shelving, and balancing pieces into a single tableau within a larger construction. It is then transformed by the unique recording characteristics of the camera’s wide angle, the extended exposure, and the light sensitive paper’s recording abilities.

Author Reading | Jeff Dolven discusses his book Senses of Style: Poetry Before Interpretation
Do you sound like yourself today? Or like someone else? Like who? How can you tell? Is this some kind of movement? Are you a part of it? What time is it in here, anyway? And why are you reading this—are these your kinds of questions, is this your kind of event; will the people there be your kind of people? Such problems will be hard to avoid when Jeff Dolven and Wayne Koestenbaum take up the self-divided, trivial, indispensable concept of style. The discussants will talk about Dolven’s new book, Senses of Style (Chicago 2018), and also respond to a suite of stylistic provocations curated by Sina Najafi, editor-in-chief of Cabinet magazine. Sir Thomas Wyatt and Frank O’Hara guest star. Refreshments will be provided. Audience members are encouraged to show up in their style.

Having honed his craft in Liverpool and gigged across the U.K. and Europe, N’Gonda is now headlining shows in London, releasing a debut EP, and supporting touring acts, including Laura Mvula, Martha Reeves, and Lauryn Hill.
