Art, music, atmosphere--UMMA invites you to spend the evening with us at this free community event. Stand before the shimmering fields of color created by West African artist El Anatsui in the career retrospective El Anatsui: When I Last Wrote to You About Africa, take a walk around London with the Queen of England’s guards in Francis Alÿs’s video work Guards, travel to the Himalayas with Buddhist Thangkas and Treasures: The Walter Koelz Collection, Museum of Anthropology, and find out what an architect does with Alice in Wonderland and Andy Warhol’s dessert recipes in Florencia Pita/FP mod. The Ingrid Racine Quartet, featuring local jazz sensation Ingrid Racine – formerly of the post-afrobeat band NOMO -- on trumpet, Detroit guitarist and Wayne State faculty member Chuck Newsome, bassist Jordan Schug, and drummer Rob Avsharian will present jazz interpretations of Afropop classics and original compositions inspired by the Mande tradition of West Africa. Light refreshments and curators chats round out the evening.
