Last Thursday, we closed out our summer series with INSTITUT Vol. 018, and in true INSTITUT fashion, the night turned into a little bit of everything.

Resident artists @kryvakosaband led another folk song + dance workshop, which has officially become a staple of our summer Thursdays (at this point, we hope you’re all folk music experts).

Then @tarasmoneka and @quincybullen joined us for a special acoustic performance, combining Afro-Sufi, Arabic, and diasporic traditions through jazz, soul, maqam, and Afrobeat.

To close things out, @gogojuana took over the decks with vintage vinyl, playing Latin and global selections into the late hours.

This was the final event of our summer series, but DON’T YOU WORRY we’re not done yet. We’re back in September for Ukrainian Heritage Month with more music, film, immersive experiences, food, performance and conversation. Stay tuned for everything coming up.

And a special thank you to everyone who stayed until the very end to watch the lunar eclipse with us in the parking lot (you know who you are). What a magical way to end the summer. 🌒

Thank you for a summer to remember. See you in September.
