About this Event
Armenian folk, desert blues and ethio jazz on vinyl from Toronto curator SHAUNT RAFFI.
Vol 3: SHAUNT RAFFI closes out the night — expect the unexpected. Threads of the evening may resurface. New ones will appear.
This is the closing set of VOLUME 3 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave - around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...
Come earlier for a live score of Parajanov's The Colour of Pomegranates at 9PM, Ukrainian Poetic Cinema at 7PM, or the panel with MARCI SHORE at 5PM. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.
