Head over to Jane St. Art Center for You’re Breaking Up Discussion Panel moderated by Elizabeth Keithline with panelists Onaje Benjamin, Chong Kang, Eileen Power and Betsey Regan. Sometimes there are physical acts of destruction that underscore these concepts – abrasion, scratching, tearing, erasure – but not always. As heavy as this topic is, at the same time, there is a lightness in some of the work. These artists recognize destruction as sometimes a necessary part of arriving at a new place, the merging of cultures or a rising from ashes to generate new growth. This doesn’t make destruction okay, but it does make it worth examining.

One of the most gripping and fun live bands in contemporary music today, Yemen Blues’ original sound draws from the great traditions of Jewish and Arabic culture and each note sings with a love for common humanity coexing in both the past and present, at once timeless and modern. There’s a certain magic to the way the four musicians in the band interact. On one hand, their music is timeless, extending itself back through millennia. But they’re also a radical break with the past, a four-part space where freedom is the only goal. Listening to Yemen Blues is like eating a rich, Middle Eastern soup made of only four ingredients – each flavor is profound, forever changing yet forever in balance. Grab your tickets here!
