Jamal Moore: Black Earth Rising Closing Performance
Experience a transformative sonic journey as Jamal R. Moore presents a live rendition of Ma’at Nadjartat Nun, the soundscape composed for the Black Earth Rising exhibition. This immersive performance features Moore alongside a dynamic quintet of musicians and performance collaborators, weaving global sounds into a vibrant exploration of humanity’s relationship with the Earth and the equilibrium we must restore.
The title Ma’at Nadjartat Nun draws from ancient Egyptian cosmology—Ma’at, the principle of truth and cosmic order, and Nun, the primordial waters of creation—inviting listeners to reflect on the sacred balance of the natural world.
