Through the tradition of black, cultural story telling, Dawuna presents a fluid reinterpretation of both released and unreleased recorded material. 

Dawuna is a multi-disciplinary artist hailing from the DMV. His art reinterprets moments in the Black American musical cannon via avant-garde compositional methods. This can result in anything from an experimental rap album to a straight-up funk album. His debut, Glass Lit Dream, was hailed as a "masterpiece" by The Guardian, and received much critical acclaim.

 

Framed Listen is a series in which artists across a wide spectrum of genre and sonic palette are asked to curate visual material that contextualizes their music practice. Each evening of the series is based around a different artist, opening with a screening and concluding with a performance. The series aims to highlight and expand engagement with different forms of experimental music, giving attendees a deeper look into the work of these extraordinary musicians.
