  Growing into Music is a three-year project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board. Its main participants are Lucy Durán, Geoff Baker and Nicolas Magriel. This largely video-based project focuses on musical enculturation in the oral traditions of Mali, Senegal, Cuba, Venezuela, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan and India. Today Nicolas Magriel will be showing exciting films about children of the Rajasthani (manganiyar and langa) and Hindustani (classical) musical cultures of North India.

  Recurring event

  Founded in 1978, the October Gallery is an art gallery dedicated to the appreciation of art from all cultures around the world. It exhibits and promotes art of the transvangarde-the work of artists who, whilst working at the forefront of their own cultures, assimilate into their work elements from other cultures as well. There are 29 artists currently associated with the venue.

   

• Romauld Hazoumé - Made In Porto-Novo: Workshop

  Exhibition

  19 Oct 2009 to 20 Nov 2009

  One of Africa's leading visual artists, Romuald Hazoumé, will be presenting a range of new works in his Made in Porto-Novo exhibition. This will feature a new installation, paintings, photographs and recently created 'masks' - the signature sculptures, with which he first came to prominence in the west. Our artist-led workshops will explore how Hazoumé transforms found materials in to sculptures or installations that carry the stories and messages of the people who made, used and disposed of them. Using a range of different media, pupils will have the opportunity to respond creatively and consider themes that arise from Hazoumé's powerful body of work.
