Presented in collaboration with the Asian American Arts Alliance

The Memory of Water is a full-length creative collaboration between beat-based experimental artist Ravish Momin, performing as Sunken Cages with guest dancer Ishita Mili, and composer/performer Migiwa “Miggy” Miyajima and quintet. Memory addresses the power of oceans, with visuals depicting how water shapes our lives and music that evokes memories of the Japanese waters and the tenacious resiliency of the 2011 tsunami survivors. The performance culminates with the world premiere of “The Golden Miracles,” composed by Miyajima, featuring a blending of Sunken Cages' beguiling visual and electronic textures alongside the acoustics of Miyajima’s ensemble. “Miracles” is a dedication to all American immigrants, the ancestors of today’s New Yorkers, who came here from beyond our immediate waters. 

Performance Length: Approximately 60 minutes, no intermission

Groove on The GREEN this summer in the newly reimagined Josie Robertson Plaza at our Silent Disco series, playing hot dance party sets in July with a different world-class DJ every time. We’re sure you’ll agree that the only thing better than going out dancing is dancing outside under the stars! Our July 30 silent disco brings you not one, but THREE all-star DJs, courtesy of the newly founded Universal Hip Hop Museum in the Bronx. The Museum’s Executive and Founding Member Cutman LG; DJ Jazzy Joyce, one of the few women to win the legendary New Music Seminar DJ battles; and Grand Wizzard Theodore, who’s universally acknowledged as the inventor of the scratch, represent the best of the best in the genre.

Raga Maqam—a collaboration between Brooklyn Raga Massive, The India Center Foundation, and Lincoln Center—explores the shared threads of Indian ragas and Iraqi maqam, the venerable tradition of structured-improvisatory composition. A public premiere of new work composed by Iraqi American multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Amir ElSaffar in conjunction with members of Brooklyn Raga Massive and maqam virtuosos from NYC and beyond, Raga Maqam imbues fresh life to their unique conversation between these ancient styles. Raga Maqam’s 15-performer ensemble unites a combo of virtuosic artists hailing from America, India, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Jordan, and Turkey with instrumentation just as eclectic as its musicians, featuring masters of the santur, oud, violin, sitar, bansuri, kamancheh and tabla.
