LAZULI
Lazuli is a reflection of her generation, born prewired for the web. In barely two years and two EPs, Lazuli is already making her mark, as much by virtue of her infectious energy and savvy musicianship as her vision of rap.

Harilay Rabenjamina will present MY HONOR IS SAFE, an autonomous epilogue of sorts in the form of thoughts expressed in song about what a voice can do following a tragedy, and Soa Ratsifandrihana presents Dance for All Young Black Romantics, a tip of the hat to the two artists whose natural romanticism kindle her desire to create a giving and sentimental dance.

SHORT TOURS
GALLERIES ON LEVELS -1, 1 AND 2
Every 30 minutes starting at the “Short Tours” meeting points
Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol produced around 160 canvases together in 1984-85, four-handed works or “painting 4 hands,” some of which were among the greatest of their respective careers. Explore the exhibition with enlightened help from cultural guides and see how the two painters worked enthusiastically within this intense collaboration. Their dialogue of shapes and styles addresses crucial subjects such as the Afro-American community’s integration and the consumer society and its icons through the eyes of Warhol.
