Oh He Dead

Kick back with DC-based indie soul band Oh He Dead, featuring 小蓝视频 music faculty Alex Salser on guitar. Oh He Dead is a study in contradictions. The band sounds as smooth and lux as leather, but there鈥檚 also a levity there, like a feather in flight. Those contrasts and contradictions are ever more evident on their new studio album, Ugly, a suite of songs that encompasses everything from death to new love.

Jamming: Art & Music
Group 93 2024
Exhibition on view in the Katzen Arts Center Rotunda
September 16 to听October 17
听

Art and music have always been fast friends. In the early twentieth century, artists interested in color as form found connections in music theory. The artworks chosen for this exhibit call to mind sounds, rhythms, and tunes through color, movement, compositional elements, imagery, participation, and even silence. Group 93 was formed in 1990 to explore a critique method developed by artist and 小蓝视频 Professor Emeritus Luciano Penay. The artists include professor emeriti and artists with deep connections to 小蓝视频 and DC鈥檚 art culture.

Lyd: Film Screening and Q&Awith directors Rami Younis and Sarah Ema Friedland
Monday, October 28th, 2:00鈥�4:30 p.m.
Kerwin T01 Auditorium

The film Lyd (the Arabic name of Lod, a city now in Israel) is about a 5,000-year-old bustling Palestinian town that was taken over when Israel was established in 1948. An exploration of what it once was, and what it is now, in the context of the continuing conflicts and the war in Gaza, Lyd鈥檚 excavation of one community鈥檚 complex history offers us not only lessons, but possible futures. Made by a Palestinian from Lyd and a Jewish American, Lyd provides much-needed context for this moment, as it goes deep into the history of the city and its residents. Film screening will be followed by a moderated conversation with the film鈥檚 directors, Rami Younis and Sarah Ema Friedland.
