With musicians selected to complement Gibson’s vibrant artworks and converse with his powerful themes, ***PAST + FUTURE = PRESENT, Pt. 2** *features **Angélica Garcia**, Mexican-American “high priestess with a synth and a killer sixth sense” (*Spin Magazine*) and **M’lynn**, a Dallas-born Cherokee Nation soul singer whose smooth and sultry vibes make even a summer night seem cool, on the lobby stage. Upstairs in Oculus Hall, Red Lake Ojibwe** Joe Rainey** combines traditional pow wow singing with techno, industrial, hip hop, dub, and noise, followed by a high-energy DJ set by **deesco**, Teme-Augama Anishnabai club maven, closes out the night. Come for the music, stay for the vibes. Sip on handcrafted cocktails and zero-proof drinks by Chicas on The Rocks and grab a bite from local chef and culinary innovator Nelson Lee’s mini-Airstream trailer on East West Bank Plaza. Your perfect summer night at The Broad awaits! ***PAST + FUTURE = PRESENT, Pt. 1 ***and*** Pt. 2 ***feature a thoughtfully selected lineup of musicians who have made their mark on the club, concert, and tour circuits within the past decade, channeling a liberatory future through music and powerful performances that honor culture and ancestry. Throughout the two-part festival-style series, hip hop, experimental, pow wow, indie, electronic, and soul music coexist like the vibrant and inspirational words and colors in Jeffrey Gibson’s *PAST + FUTURE = PRESENT* (2024) and other artworks on view in his exhibition.
