Exhibition Opening: Joe Namy: Heavy with Love
Join Artist Joe Namy and exhibition Co-Curator Fawz Kabra for a guided walkthrough and conversation opening the exhibition Joe Namy: Heavy with Love.
To inaugurate the program, a live music performance by Zafer Tawil will take place in the Grand Lobby from 6:10-6:30. An accomplished Palestinian musician based in New York City, Tawil is a virtuoso on oud, violin, and qanoun, and is a master of Arabic percussion. He will play the qanoun.
Following the performance with Tawil, we will move through the Grand Lobby, first and second floor areas of the exhibition, with opportunity for questions and discussion.
Artist and composer Joe Namy’s work considers how culture, memory, and power structures are intertwined with the history of sound, music and other aesthetic forms that vibrate against a turbulent geopolitical landscape. For our youngest library-goers to our eldest, Heavy with Love is Namy’s beckoning towards the positive forces of love and social justice.
