Sculpted Sound: Althea SullyCole at aKAZI ATL

Join Snug Concerts and aKAZI ATL for Sculpted Sound, a special evening of live music and visual art featuring multi-instrumentalist and ethnomusicologist Althea SullyCole. Specializing in the kora, a 21-stringed harp from the Mandé region of West Africa, Althea’s performances offer a rare and intimate experience that blends tradition, scholarship, and sonic beauty.

This event takes place inside the contemporary art exhibition:  “Peace, Reconciliation and the Potential for Transformation” which showcases the work of Mozambican sculptor Gonçalo Mabunda. His sculptures, made from decommissioned weapons, speak to the power of art to heal and transform. aKAZI ATL (a gallery focused on showing contemporary art from the African Continent and its Diaspora) is curating and hosting this exhibition in collaboration with Emory University’s Michael C. Carlos Museum and its fall exhibition Insistent Presence.

This night is a full sensory experience where the textures of sculpture and sound meet on Auburn Avenue at the Haugabrooks building in the center of the historic Sweet Auburn district. Suggested minimum donation is $20, and as always with Snug Concerts, 100% of donations go to the artist.

Take a listen to Althea’s stunning debut album Due West before the show and come ready to settle in and be moved.
