This event is part of an evening of programs at the Ace Hotel, coinciding with the Outsider Art Fair New York, which takes place at the Metropolitan Pavilion (125 West 18th Street NYC), January 16-19. For more information, visit www.outsiderartfair.com.
Inspired by the exhibition co-curated by Brett Littman and the Shipibo Conibo Center for OAF 2020, The Hummingbird Paints Fragrant Songs: Sara Flores and Celia Vasquez Yui, the renowned oud player Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz, whose work merges the trance traditions of Persia, the Middle East, and North Africa with the downtown New York improv scene, will perform a solo set at the Ace Hotel. His performance of "ecstatic music" points to those states of mind and healing attained through the ayahuasca ceremonies performed by the Shipibo Conibo shamans.
