Join us for an indoor "cook-out" and conversation with artist Zeelie Brown exploring the relationships between music, land, and inherited traditions of sound.
Guests are invited to share a homestyle meal—featuring Black Southern dishes like collards and butter beans—before gathering for a conversation and demonstration with Brown and special guests.
The evening will include reflections on musical lineage, the cello’s place within classical and experimental traditions, and the ways artists reinterpret inherited forms. Through conversation, listening, and live musical examples, the program offers insight into the creative processes shaping Brown’s evolving installation and the sonata that will premiere at the close of the exhibition.
Food will be served throughout the evening, with time for informal conversation before and after the program.
