Equatorial Rhythms

Equatorial Rhythms will focus on the art and music of countries that have deep-rooted, indigenous musical traditions that are unique to each participating country – musical traditions that are anchored in the national identities and daily lives of the people of these countries. By presenting both art and music by artists from the selected countries, and in many instances a crossover between art and music, the synergy between art and music will come to the fore. All in all, the complex cultural issues addressed throughout the exhibition will contribute to an extensive, interdisciplinary, cross-cultural dialogue – one that runs both North/South and East/West. There is a focus on art from the Caribbean/South America, Africa and Asia; through art and music from Jamaica, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria, Trinidad, Ethiopia, Morocco, Korea, Vietnam and Indonesia.
