Neo Muyanga & Souleymane Bachir Diagne | IN CONVERSATION | Perelman Arts Center

From 27 February to 2 March 2025, The Centre presented the renowned musical odyssey, African Exodus, at the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC) in New York City.

Also part of the programme at PAC was an In Conversation between Senegalese philosopher and scholar Souleymane Bachir Diagne, and Impresario for the Less Good Idea, Neo Muyanga, which followed the February 28th performance. Leveraging off the themes of identity, culture, and migration implicit in African Exodus, and its performance debut in North America, Muyanga and Diagne discussed, among other things, the shared musical traditions between Africa and the United States of America, and the history of migration between the two.
