22.01.2022 Dont forget to check out the incredible exhibition that is The End/Future of History on until the 14 of December. In this exhibition, contemporary artists examine how rights are simultaneously upheld and violated by government. In an international system that has been dominated by western ideology, a fundamental flaw exists with the administering of rights. It is a system where the guarantor is almost always the key violator.... Curated by Phuong Ngo and featuring works by Hoda Afshfar, Lara Chamas, Yu Fang Chi, Katayoun Javan, James Nguyen, Sha Sawari, Cyrus Tang, and Truc Truong. Photos by Leela Schauble.

03.01.2022 Join Solomon Sisay as he launches his debut album Sitota tonight at 8pm in the FCAC Amphitheatre! Written by Solomon and fellow Ethiopian artist Nhatty Man , Sitota is a tribute to the Ethio-Jazz modes endemic to their homeland, and a fitting salute to the saxophones role within Ethiopian Jazz. Amadou Suso will be opening the evening playing on the Kora. He is a direct line descendant of the first ever Kora master who lived over 700 years ago! He holds a deep knowledge ...of Gambian traditional music, fusing it with contemporary mastery of the African harp. This is one not to be missed!!! Make sure you book your tickets.
