Common Ground: Drum Traditions in Conversation

Where do we find common ground? Join us at the Museum with tabla player Bailey O?Donnell and bomba drummer Kel Garratt as they discuss and demonstrate their drum traditions with one another and with audience members. Come with your questions to share! Cultural heritage art forms create and reflect meaning, identity, and community, but we can become overly focused on cultural differences, or else assume that there is a universal artistic language. But what if we can dig into?and challenge?both perspectives? In this series, we bring together traditional artists who practice art forms rooted in different cultural traditions to demonstrate their work, share with one another, and discuss their similarities and differences.
