The Sanctuary’s 10th Anniversary Celebration Decades Exhibition with Performance by Thomas Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited
April 2, 2016 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm EDT
The Sanctuary for Independent Media celebrates its 10th anniversary with a photo exhibition in the Underground Gallery featuring documentation of a decade’s worth of cultural programming, social action, and community building! Thomas Mapfumo has been the musical voice of protest in Zimbabwe and all of southern Africa for nearly half a century. Hero of the anti-apartheid movement in Rhodesia, then exiled from Zimbabwe because of his vocal criticism of government corruption, the legendary composer, guitarist and singer Thomas Mapfumo leads one of the world’s most dangerous dance bands- a nine-piece ensemble celebrating the past, present and future of African music. Easily the most famous singer in his native country, Mapfumo continues to live in exile from the regime of Robert Mugabe, and his music is banned at home.
We are committed to lowering the barriers to access for events at The Sanctuary for Independent Media. For people who are hard of hearing or deaf, blind or low-vision, or whose physical limitations can interfere with a satisfying experience, let us know two weeks in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.
