Root Division is proud to host a one night live musical event featuring the jazz trio, Broun Fellinis. Since the 1990’s Broun Fellinis has been a key component of San Francisco's acid jazz scene. Featured in clubs like Bruno's and Cafe Du Nord, the trio mixes the improvisational style of jazz with dub and funk, drum 'n' bass, Afrobeat and hip-hop. This event is co-presented by the Museum of African Diaspora as part of their current exhibition, Where is Here, curated by Jacqueline Francis and Kathy Zarur. On view in Root Division’s gallery will be “Call for Beauty,” curated by the 3.9 Art Collective. Call for Beauty challenges assumptions about the concept of beauty while honoring the historical and ongoing creative presence of black artists in the Bay Area. The show addresses traditional and emergent notions of beauty through the manipulation of materials, forms, and space. The 3.9 Art Collective is an association of black artists, curators, and art writers of African descent who live in San Francisco. Expanding beyond the reach of their group for this exhibition, the 3.9 Art Collective invited members of the black artist community from around the Bay Area to respond to the call to expand the dialogue around historical and contemporary notions of beauty. Featuring 33 artists working in a variety of media Call for Beauty offers a wide range of definitions and approaches to the beautiful.
