On August 4, Remix ⟷ Culture will kick off its fourth Tanfis artist residency, bringing together a new cohort of NY-based artists from underrepresented communities — African-American, Colombian, Mexican, Occaneechi-Saponi, Taíno, and Jamaican — to collaborate through a process guided by the following existential questions:


“𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙤 𝙬𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢? 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚? 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙬𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚?”


The culmination of this 3-week communal-living, collaborative process will be the Tanfis IV live experience premiering on August 22nd, 2025 at the Hurleyville Performing Arts Centre (HPAC). Tanfis IV Live will be co-designed and performed by the artists-in-residence alongside four featured guest artists, and will take the audience on a journey seamlessly and harmoniously weaving in live acoustic traditional music, audio and video remix and storytelling.


With a unique, immersive arrangement that pays homage to pre-modern collective music practices, Tanfis IV live will be held within a ceremonial circle: the artists at the center, the audience gathered all around. This communal ritual space invites you to witness, move, reflect, and participate — immersed in 3D sound of live music and video projections.


This will be a shared space of ritual, resistance, memory, and imagination. We look forward to sharing it with you.

N.B. Think of Tanfis IV not just as a concert, but as a communal, multimedia journey that will honor everything from the solemn to the celebratory. We will ask attendees to keep talking to a minimum and to turn off phones. The space will be arranged in concentric circles: a seated inner ring close to the performers, and an outer ring open for standing, dancing, and movement throughout the experience.
