A night club map of Harlem from 1930s

An evening of poetry and jazz in the Gallery, inspired by the infectious energy of the Harlem Renaissance.

Actor Ivanno Jeremiah reads Langston Hughes and James Weldon Johnson, accompanied by Deschanel Gordon on piano.

Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening throughout Into the Night, the galleries will come to life with performance in the exhibition’s recreation of Strasbourg’s iconic L’Aubette (1928), focusing on the vitality and diversity of jazz as performed across the globe. The evenings are co-curated with Mark Kavuma, a prominent young trumpet player on the British jazz scene.

Classic cocktails will also be served in the adjoining recreation of Vienna’s jewel-like Cabaret Fledermaus bar.
