SUMMARY:Mapping Queens: Building Artist-Run Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:00 PM | Panel: 6:30 PM \nAdmission: FREE    \n\nJoin us at FLUX IV for the next installment of Mapping Queens\, a conversation series presented through the Queens Cultural Mapping Initiative highlighting the people and organizations shaping Queens’ cultural landscape. \nModerated by Natalie Bedon\, Project Manager of the Queens Cultural Mapping Initiative\, this conversation will bring together leaders behind artist-run spaces across the borough: \n\nNaomi Strum — Los Herederos (Jackson Heights)\nStephanie S. Lee — The Garage Art Center (Bayside)\nMeghana Karnik — FLUX IV / Flux Factory (Long Island City)\n\nTogether\, these artists and cultural leaders are creating spaces that provide opportunities for experimentation\, collaboration\, exhibitions\, programming\, and community connection\, while building new models for how artists can support one another and shape the cultural life of their neighborhoods. \nPanelists will share the stories behind their spaces and discuss the realities of building and sustaining artist-led initiatives\, from finding and maintaining physical space to navigating funding\, affordability\, programming\, partnerships\, and long-term growth. The conversation will also explore how artist-run spaces can respond directly to the needs of local creatives and strengthen Queens’ broader cultural ecosystem. \nThe conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A and mixer.

SUMMARY:Banbas/Exile Author Event with Rajiv Mohabir in conversation with Nadia Misir
DESCRIPTION:Join us discussing Banbas/Exile with Rajiv Mohabir in conversation with Nadia Misir! \nFrom acclaimed poet and scholar Rajiv Mohabir\, a brilliantly crafted retelling of the ancient Ramayan that valorizes the epic poem’s queer heart. \nRajiv Mohabir first learned of the Ramayan from his grandmother while sitting on his parents’ brown-tiled porch\, surrounded by the scrub forest of Central Florida. Descended from generations of Indian indentured laborers who were brought to Guyana under nefarious contracts\, they receive the ancient Hindu epic poem as a tale of exile in anthropomorphic wilderness\, passed along as it was in stories and songs shared vocally in the cane fields. \nHere\, in a singular gesture of deeply layered translation\, this ember of song is passed along again. Drawing on his grandmother’s Creole\, Caribbean Hindustani\, and the King’s English on his own decolonized terms\, Mohabir reimagines the Ramayan anew. Classical in form yet rooted in Guyanese ancestry and its diasporas\, Banbas / Exile is a genre-bending collection of poetry\, stories\, songs\, and reflective prose. Speaking through heroes\, villains\, and animal deities\, this extraordinary translation gives voice to lives shaped by exile and to the enduring search for a world that can hold both difference and communion.

The performance draws from his years of travel\, study\, and collaboration in Colombia — including time with the late maestro Diego Obregón — and his continued work as a composer in New York City. \nOver the past four years\, Dan’s voice has evolved through a blend of jazz harmony\, Afro-Colombian rhythm\, and the spirit of the American Songbook\, filtered through his California roots. The result is a bold set of original compositions and rich arrangements shaped by lived experience across cultures. \nA key part of this journey is Dan’s collaboration with Colombian vocalist Xiomara Torres\, whose voice and deep ties to Pacific Coast tradition bring this music to life with authenticity and soul. \nYou will hear airs like currulao\, aguabajo\, juga\, and abozao\, paired with intricate horn arrangements and interpreted by some of New York’s finest jazz musicians. \nThis project reflects the multicultural energy of New York—where folklore\, improvisation\, and innovation coexist—and presents Afro-Colombian music in a new\, elevated form shaped by Dan’s singular vision. \nAbout Dan Neville:  \nDan Neville is an award-winning vibraphonist\, composer\, and arranger based in NYC and a 2025 recipient of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts Fellowship for Music Composition. \nWinner of the 2025 Springfest Vibraphone Competition\, Dan has performed in Europe\, South America\, and across the U.S.\, including the SFJAZZ Center and NBC’s Today Show. \nOriginally from Sonoma\, California\, he began on guitar\, later embracing the vibraphone. In San Francisco\, he collaborated with figures like John Santos and Anthony Blea\, while studying Afro-Cuban music and composition. \nHe earned his B.A. in Jazz Studies at California Jazz Conservatory\, touring Europe with the school’s top ensemble. His debut album Tenerife (2017) featured top Bay Area musicians and was celebrated for its refined Afro-Latin jazz. \nIn 2020\, Dan spent a year in Cali\, Colombia\, studying with Diego Obregón and recording with musicians from the Pacific Coast. His time there led to performances at Utopía and Tamborimba festivals\, and his feature in the documentary Viaje de La Marimba. \nSince relocating to NYC in 2021\, Dan has studied at William Paterson University\, collaborated with artists like Randy Brecker\, and performed regularly at Terraza 7. \nHe produced and arranged La Voz del Mar (2022) by Xiomara Torres\, which reached #1 on RMR’s Latin Jazz chart and was praised by DownBeat.
