SUMMARY:West African Drumming 6 Week Class with Fonziba
DESCRIPTION:6 Week Class in West African Drumming with Fonziba\nWednesday Nights 7 – 8:30pm\nSept 10\, 17\, 24\, & Oct 1\, 8\, 15\n@Full Moon Studio\, 1210 S. Gilbert St. Suite 105\, Iowa City\nDrum Provided\nCost: $150 for 6 week class (you must sign up for the whole session)\nOpen to All Levels\, Beginners to Advanced\nMust Pre-Register with Fonziba by Sept. 7th\nVia Text/Email earthdrummers@gmail.com 641-919-4155\n[Come to a 2 hour workshop the week before this class starts to try it out: https://www.facebook.com/share/1CAWuokPDW/ ]\nExperience the fun and exhilaration of playing West African rhythms on authentic djembe hand drums. Unlike many musical instruments\, djembe drums are easy to play.\nInstead of one drummer playing complex rhythms on a drum set\, Africans divide their intricate rhythms into simpler parts with different drummers playing each part. When all the parts are played together\, you create an African polyrhythm\, much like a drum orchestra.\nBecause African polyrhythms are broken down into simpler parts\, they are more accessible and easy to learn. They also create a wonderful sense of connection and community because everyone has to work together to create the polyrhythm.\nWhat’s more\, the raw power of these rhythms being played by many drummers uplifts and energizes everyone.\nFonziba offers workshops and classes in West African drumming for all levels of playing ability. She shares the energetics of drumming she learned while performing for weddings in Africa and from her many African drum teachers here in the United\nStates.\nBenefits of African Hand Drumming:\n Reduces blood pressure\, stress and anxiety\n Promotes a state of well being through increased endorphins\n Improves cognitive functioning through an increase in brain white matter\n Increases the body’s immune system\n Stimulates creativity and self-expression\n Improves co-ordination\, focus and recall\n Fun\, relaxing and energizing\nFonziba Koster has a B.A. in music education. For the last 27 years has presented her African Drumming & Culture programs to thousands in schools\, libraries\, museums\, churches and retirement communities throughout the Midwest. Fonziba has studied & performed with master drummers from Mali\, Guinea\, Senegal & the Ivory Coast. She also lived & performed with a traditional family of drummers in the Ivory Coast.\nFor more info – Fonzibadrums.com\nFonziba’s bio: https://www.fonzibadrums.com/about-fonziba.html

SUMMARY:Artist Conversation Series: Julien Creuzet and Aguibou Sanou
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Stanley Museum of Art for an evening of performance\, video\, and discussion featuring two internationally acclaimed contemporary artists: Julien Creuzet and Aguibou Bougobali Sanou. Both artists engage with historical African masks and figures\, using performance\, animation\, and dance to reanimate them and forge new narratives of contemporary relevance. \nCreuzet’s talk will complement his work currently on view in the galleries\, Zumbi Zumbi Eterno. This video installation explores the history of resistance to slavery in Brazil during the late 17th century. His three untitled videos breathe new life into Congolese minkisi (power figures)\, allowing them to respond to the musical soundtrack for Zumbi Zumbi Eterno through dance and animation. \nSanou’s performance\, Mask Utopia: The Remaining Fragments\, engages with African masks through contemporary choreography and immersive soundscapes\, transforming the stage into a space of worship and invocation to explore utopian visions. \nProgram: \nArtist talk by Julien Creuzet \nPerformance of Mask Utopia: The Remaining Fragments by Aguibou Sanou (20 minutes)\nIntermission \nConversation with Cory Gundlach\, Curator of African Art \nAudience Q&A \nThis program is supported by a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. \nAbout the artists: \nJulien Creuzet is a French-Caribbean artist who lives and works in Paris. A visual artist and poet\, he actively intertwines these two practices via amalgams of sculpture\, installation\, and textual intervention that address his own diasporic experience and his relationship to his ancestral home\, Martinique\, which he refers to as “the heart of my imagination”. Inspired by the poetic and philosophical reflections of the French Martinican writers Aimé Césaire and Édouard Glissant on creolization and migration\, Creuzet’s work focuses on the troubled intersection between Caribbean histories and the events of European modernity. Creuzet’s distinctive sculptural language often repurposes found materials; relics of detritus washed ashore by oceans or the unrelenting progress of history. Throughout his work\, Creuzet creates a dialogue with the question of emancipation and the legacy of the Caribbean diaspora as it exists today. \nhttp://www.andrewkreps.com/artists/julien-creuzet \nAguibou Bougobali Sanou is an internationally recognized dancer\, choreographer\, and scholar from Burkina Faso\, currently Assistant Professor of Dance at Grinnell College (Iowa\, USA). He is Artistic Director of Compagnie Tamadia\, founder of the In-Out Dance and World Arts Festival in Bobo-Dioulasso\, and creator of the Arts Green Culture Factory\, a residency that merges artistic creation\, cultural dissemination\, ecological farming\, and community empowerment. His choreographic research—including the ongoing Mask Utopia project—explores African mask traditions\, embodied spirituality\, and their intersections with contemporary performance and immersive technologies. A Fulbright Laureate (2018) Sanou has received international recognition for his innovative practice. His works\, presented across Africa\, Europe\, Asia\, and the United States\, merge dance\, visual arts\, ecology\, and community engagement\, weaving together performance\, ritual\, and social change. \nwww.bougobali.com \nJulien Creuzet image courtesy of the Artist and Andrew Kreps Gallery\, New York Photographer: Virginie Ribau\nAguibou Sanou image courtesy Prestige Photography Company \nThursday\, October 16\, 2025 6:00pm to 8:00pm\nStanley Museum of Art\n160 West Burlington Street\, Iowa City\, IA 52242\nStanley Museum of Art\nView on Event Calendar\nIndividuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa–sponsored events.
