November 22–23, 2024
This November, FourOneOne presents Transatlantik, two days of performances and conversation with diasporic artists engaged with the artistic and political concepts of negritude and créolité: Aruán Ortiz's Reimagining Tropiques: Then and Now ft. Anaïs Maviel and Aliya Ultan; Sélène Saint Aimé's Creole Songs; KāFOU (Val Jeanty and Cassie Watson Francillon); Renald St. Juste; and Patrick Chamoiseau, the Martinican author and theorist of créolité; plus an afterparty with Alexis Marcelo, DJ Buddy and DJ Jeff Brown. Transatlantik kicks off FourOneOne’s series of performances, discussions, and other public convenings exploring creolization, the fraught process of social, cultural, and linguistic mixing through the enforced cohabitation of racialized and subjugated peoples within the extractive contexts of slavery, colonialism and plantation societies.
