Talkingstick at RMA Cross-cultural Stories
Thursday February 12, 2009 @ 8:30 PM
Talkingstick at RMA features writers, actors, comedians, and performers sharing true stories inspired by works of art from the Rubin Museum of Art collection, alongside museum guides who share stories from within the rich oral traditions of the Himalayas. Funny, sad, poignant, and cutting, Talkingstick at RMA provides opportunities to explore various perspectives on Himalayan art while experiencing the spontaneous and dynamic world of storytelling.
Talkingstick at RMA is held monthly in the galleries of the museum with our Talkingstick colleagues, Master Lee and Mr. Patrick. In July, Master Lee, Mr. Patrick, RMA guides, and guest musical group Fourviere Hill will present in response to the Tradition Transformed exhibition. Fourviere Hill, comprised on musicians Michael Campbell and Jesse Smith, will perform on marimbas made from glass bars and metal pipes. Fourviere Hill has performed in museums, galleries, and at Carnegie Hall.
