Panic Point - The Rahsaan Barber Quintet |
| Rahsaan joined the ranks of the nation’s rising jazz stars both as the leader of his own quintet, Everyday Magic, and as co-leader of the groundbreaking Nashville-based Latin-jazz septet El Movimiento.
Rahsaan has entered the ranks of the nation’s premier jazz artists following several celebrated releases, most recently including Mosaic, a double-disc collection of original works released in April of 2021, featuring trumpeter Nathan Warner and trombonist Roland Barber, Rahsaan’s twin brother. Prior to the release of Mosaic, Barber received critical acclaim for The Music In The Night (2017) and Everyday Magic, (2011) both released on the saxophonist’s record label, Jazz Music City, which he founded to showcase his hometown’s (Nashville, TN) diverse and impressive musical talent. |

| Virtual Conversation Talk About Art with Dayana Camposeco Wednesday, September 6, 2023, 6 PM FREE
Join us for a conversation with Dayana Camposeco and CAM's Executive Director Heather Wilson. Dayana's work is currently on view in Traer a Luz/Bring to Light, an exhibition featuring work with her brother Diego Camposeco. This exhibition of photography explores the bonds of trust – between sister and brother, photographer and subject, family and community as well as light and darkness, life and death, work, and culture within the context of southern Latinx identity.
Dayana Camposeco’s [b.1994, Mexican-American Visual Artist] artwork reflects an abstract perspective of everyday life. Dayana will be graduating from Cape Fear Community College this following year and intends to pursue a Digital Arts degree at UNC Wilmington. Dayana’s goal and vision is to celebrate diversity and highlight beauty while exploring themes of migration, systemic poverty, and queerness. As a current queer Latinx photographer based in Wilmington, NC, their current work focuses on intimate portraiture while exploring social, political, and cultural themes within traditionally underrepresented groups in the American South. |
