Brooklyn-based nonprofit organization FourOneOne has announced the upcoming two-day performance series “Transatlantik.”
The series takes place November 22 to 23 at Greenwich House Music School, CARA, and Francis Kite Club.
Transatlantik is a series of performances and conversation featuring the work of diasporic artists engaged with the artistic and political concepts of negritude and créolité. Artists include Aruán Ortiz and Anaïs Maviel; Sélène Saint Aimé; KāFOU (Val Jeanty and Cassie Watson Francillon); Vodou drummer Renald St. Juste, and Patrick Chamoiseau, the Martinican author and theorist of créolité. An afterparty with Alexis Marcelo, DJ Buddy and DJ Jeff Brown is also to be expected.
There is a total of four separate shows from November 22 to 23. November 22 sees one show at 7:30pm at Greenwich House Music School. November 23 sees three shows at varying times, at CARA, Greenwich House Music School, and Francis Kite Club respectively. Each show explores unique themes regarding negritude, creolization, Afro-Carribean cultures, and more.
