Common Ground: Drum Traditions in Conversation

September 11, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

*UPDATED!*

Where do we find common ground? 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. This conversation will feature tabla player Bailey O’Donnell and bomba drummer Brendaliz Cepeda, as they discuss and demonstrate their drum traditions with one another and with audience members. Come with your questions to share!
