Did you know the concept of the multiverse was first proposed in ancient Greece, then in Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and 18th-century astronomy? Josiah McElheny’s dramatic Island Universe embodies the concept of the multiverse. McElheny is interested in how scientific inquiry is conditioned by and impacts philosophical, sociological, and political thought. He worked with astrophysicist David Weinberg in developing Island Universe, which he considers “drawings of time,” with “each rod a measure of time—every inch, time doubles.” 'Josiah McElheny: Island Universe' opens in 2 weeks on September 12 → https://lnkd.in/gzQ7mA8G

Join us for this week's Latin Sounds concert featuring Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca. Vocalist and bandleader Ricardo Lemvo founded Makina Loco in 1990 and has established himself as a pioneer with his innovative music. Lemvo's blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms with pan-African styles (soukous, Angolan semba and kizomba) has been described by the Los Angeles Times as “seamless and infectious.” Lemvo grew up in Congo-Kinshasa where he was introduced to Cuban music by a cousin who owned a large collection of vintage Cuban LPs. Lemvo is the embodiment of the Afro-Latin Diaspora which connects back to Mother Africa via the Cuban clave rhythm. August 17 | 5 PM | Learn more ↓
