5:00pm Mixashawn Trio
Mixashawn with his Afro-Algonquin Trio performing at the 2018 Vision Festival.
Multi-instrumentalist Mixashawn Rozie has established a system of "Hemispheric Principles" to inform and guide his artform, known as "Wave Art": an approach to music making encompassing the sonic, aquatic, percussive and harmonic. Mixashawn's practice begins from the point of an Indigenous artist, and is informed by ancient cultural principles, maritime arts, and historical written and oral data. For this performance he is joined by drummer Pheeroan akLaff and bassist William Parker.

Building on their 2018 collaboration, Arts for Art returns to Weeksville Heritage Center to bring the contemporary sound of free jazz which, like Weeksville Heritage Center, was first birthed in black communities during the Civil Rights era. AFA and Weeksville have partnered together to ensure that New York’s jazz history is not only respected, but extended into the future and in the service of the neighborhood and communities who helped birth it.
