The Black diaspora, the Black cultures have influenced the global developments of the arts, as well as the popular trends in music, dance, the visual arts, and literature to a considerable extent. In the BLACK ATLANTIC project their interrelations, networking and wandering between three continents are made tangible. The central element of BLACK ATLANTIC is music with big concerts, jam sessions, and « soundscapes » (sound landscapes). International celebrities like Jazz guitar player Jean-Paul Bourelly, Dub-poetry legend Linton Kwesi Johnson, master of percussion Doudou N’Diaye Rose, and Grammy award winner and Cuban Jazz pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, to only name a few, will be our guests at the House of World Cultures.
Reaching beyond the music, BLACK ATLANTIC will be presenting multi-media installations by Isaac Julien, Keith Piper and Lisl Ponger/Tim Sharp, as well as a brand-new performance project by dancer and choreographer Ismael Ivo. In an intensive program of conferences, discussions and lectures in November, stars like the transnational thinker Edouard Glissant, poet Nancy Morejón, and Paul Gilroy will have their say.
