Join us for our next Poolside Performance featuring Na Bonsai on Thursday, August 17, at 6:30pm. Poolside Performances are an exploration of experimental music, movement, and mark-making. “The Alkhemy of Awakened Sound” is a performance debut of Na Bonsai’s graphic score series exploring archetypes of human nature through the lens of awareness. The graphic scores were created in exploration of Na’s printmaking practice as a reflection on the many different ways of expressing the cosmological blueprint.
Na Bonsai is a multi-disciplinary artist, producer, and liberation technologist from Detroit, MI. She imbibes her sonic practice with cultural awareness and a deep commitment to connection. With jazz as an early influence, her musical ancestry is filled with powerful feminine energy across generations, counting artists from Alice Coltrane to Grace Jones to Georgia Anne Muldrow as vital parts of her musical lineage.
This performance is free and open to all! Visitors are welcome to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Join us at 5:30pm for drop-in screenprinting on the museum peristyle. Print your own graphic score print by Na Bonsai or Cranbrook image in primary colors! Participants are welcome to bring their own item to print, print for free on provided paper or purchase a t-shirt or tote bag to print on for $5.
In the case of inclement weather, this event will occur in the lower level lounge in the art museum.
