For Jenn Julian, 2022 was a year of big changes, filled with travel, loss, grief, music, and joy. Through it all she fell in love with analog film photography again. She created this show as a way to bring people together around the shared love of photography. I’ll be hosting this gorgeous free to to the public one day show at couchdate, and will accompany the analog film photos with some analog music from the hifi system. There will be wine and beer, maybe even a little dancing.
Vinyl Listening Party on Jan 22nd
Francis Bebey’s Psychedelic Sanza - A Vinyl Listening Experience
Sunday January 22nd, 12pm-1:30pm
hosted at couchdate 300 Jefferson St, Oakland
——————————————————————————————————————
I’m so pleased to present some of the most intriguing of Francis Bebey’s work. The enigmatic Cameroonian moved to Paris in the early 1960’s to establish his career in the arts. Initially making music heavily based around the guitar, in the 80’s he released music centered on the sanza, also known as the mbira. It could be described as a finger harp of sorts - a wooden with metal tines/keys plucked primarily by the thumbs with a few other fingers.
This is a presale only event. Feel free to email me, or message me on instagram for tickets. Tickets are $25 and include tea service. Seating is very limited.
