CREARTE 2025 - CONCURSO SEMILLAS Y RAICES
2025-09-27 19:00 | TE TROBADOUR NASHVILLE, 2416 MUSIC VALLEY DR, NASHVILLE, TN, 37214, United States
We invite artists and creatives to express—through the following artistic disciplines—how their connection to their roots, whether real or symbolic, allows them to grow, resist, and transform their surroundings.

We want art to be a powerful VOICE in the face of the challenges our communities face.

In a world marked by displacement and hostility toward migration, we celebrate the human capacity to take root even in unfamiliar soil. Because roots are not only inherited from the past—sometimes they are built in the present, through memory, struggle, and the desire to belong.

Everyone is welcome to participate by submitting their video, photograph, or written work via email.

New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations
2025-10-10 10:00 - 2026-01-04 10:00 | Frist Art Museum, 919 Broadway, Nashville, TN, 37203, United States
New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations highlights the stories of four contemporary masquerade artists, their motivations, artistic choices, and the patronage and economic networks with which they engage. Through the presentation of works of Chief Ekpenyong Bassey Nsa (Nigeria), David Sanou (Burkina Faso), Sheku “Goldenfinger” Fofanah (Sierra Leone), and Hervé Youmbi (Cameroon), the exhibition offers fresh research models for contemporary masquerade, bringing to the fore issues relating to ownership and research ethics.

A collaboration between an international team of scholars and artists, this is the first major exhibition on contemporary West African masquerade artists to focus on individual creators rather than the typical presentation of masquerades as products of entire cultures, which undermines the nuanced and layered stories that individual artists and masquerades tell.
Image: New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations is organized by the New Orleans Museum of Art, in partnership with Musée des Civilisations noires in Dakar, Senegal, and received generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities

Acclaim for the Assads:

“They aren’t just soloists but a two-man, multi voice band of soloists who play instinctively well together, with consistent rhythmic intuition and soul.” – The Los Angeles Times

“The Brazilian-born Assad brothers…perform with almost telepathic unity” – The Boston Globe

“… the best two-guitar team in existence, maybe even in history… no amount of anticipation could have prepared me for the Brazilian brothers’ daringly flexible, eerily unanimous ensemble playing – it was as if they could see inside each other’s heads.” – The Washington Post

“Throughout the concert, the brothers played as one… This was two persons, four hands, one mind.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“A kind of wizardry lies within the playing of Sergio and Odair Assad… they produce a supple, flawless unified sound.” – The New York Times

“…Sergio and Odair, two of the finest guitarists on the planet.” – Journal Sentinel

“…it’s not hard to imagine that acoustic guitar music, when in the hands of masters like Sergio and Odair Assad, is a musical window into the heart.”- The New Jersey Star- Ledger

“Because they have been performing together for most of their lives, and because they play from memory, there is a lively interaction between them that creates the impression that they are improvising like a couple of virtuosic, perhaps even telepathic, jazz players” – The New York Times
