ABOUT MUSIC IN EXILE
Music in Exile is a not-for-profit record label, artist services organisation and registered Australian charity that works to increase access to resources and build professional networks for culturally and linguistically diverse artists in the music industry. They operate on an ‘artist first’ principle, ensuring that individual artists have ownership over the tools and resources necessary to build lasting careers in the arts. In doing so, Music in Exile hopes to build an arts sector that is equitable and accessible for all, and that truly reflects the myriad viewpoints and experiences to be found in Australian society.
27 SEPTEMBER: AUSECUMA BEATS
Ausecuma Beats are more than just a band, they are a philosophy. Led by their fearless bandleader and master djembe player, Boubacar Gaye, this ensemble demonstrate what can happen when a group of artists come together based on an idea – in this case, the idea of place, of transplanting cultural heritage into a contemporary city. The band showcase what happens when people from the farthest flung corners of the world find themselves living shoulder to shoulder in a new environment. The result – nine unique individuals, each masters of their own craft and with their own personal histories, working together to create something exciting.
EXHIBITION
A ticket to NGV Friday Nights is your only opportunity to come face-to-face with ancient Egypt’s divine icons and invincible warriors at night. Melbourne Winter Masterpieces®: Pharaoh, traverses three thousand years of art and culture and 500 objects, including monumental sculpture, architecture, temples, jewellery, coffins and more. This exhibition celebrates the phenomenon of pharaoh, those all-powerful kings claiming a divine origin.
