SOLD OUT—Tonye Aganaba: A Celebration of Canadian Black HERstory
Thursday February 6, 2020 | 8 pm
Multidisciplinary artist, musician and arts facilitator Tonye Aganaba offers a powerful performance that explores the shared experience and expression of Afro and Indigenous peoples.
This special performance by Tonye Aganaba is a part of MOA’s full evening program, Decolonizing Voices: A Celebration of Canadian Black HERstory, which strives to shine a light on the contributions of Black Womxn Canadians through academic and artistic performance. A ticket to the Tonye Aganaba performance at 8pm includes admission to the full Decolonizing Voices program, beginning at 6 pm. Witness the powerful words of Nya Lewis, Bertha Clarke and Chantal Gibson with readings and an artist panel—come early and enjoy the full evening!
Tonye’s debut performance at MOA draws from their new album, Something Comfortable—an intentional and devotional endeavour inspired by their battle with Multiple Sclerosis. The album serves as the score to ‘AfroScience’ an ongoing immersive performance and workshop series that fuses live music, dance, visual art/digital media and storytelling to stimulate conversation and action around identity, addiction, healing and expression. Tonye’s shows, workshops and classes are connected and intimate experiences, and evoke a kind of vulnerability that we all hunger for.
Praise for Tonye’s music: “… one of the best R&B recordings ever to come out of Vancouver, spanning decades of soul and funk touchstones, from Chaka Khan and Jody Watley to Brand New Heavies, Jill Scott and others.” ~ Westender
