The Rubin is transforming. On October 6, 2024, the Rubin will close its 17th Street galleries and transition into a global museum model, continuing to present Himalayan art through traveling exhibitions, digital experiences, and collaborations in the United States, Asia, Europe, and beyond. To mark the transition, join us for a 17th Street Farewell Party and toast to the Rubin’s next chapter. 

• Enjoy free admission, cocktails, live DJ music by DJ Rekha, and a dance party. 
• Visit our 20th-anniversary exhibition, Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now. The Museum-wide exhibition features artworks by over 30 contemporary artists, many from the Himalayan region and diaspora and others inspired by Himalayan art and cultures. The entire Museum is transformed by new commissions and recent works juxtaposed with objects from the Rubin’s collection, inviting new ways of encountering traditional Himalayan art.  The exhibition will travel next to Wrightwood 659 in Chicago, where it will open on November 8, 2024.

About the DJ

R Dubbs (Robbie Krevolin) loves nothing more than to get you moving to a world of sounds you’ve never heard before, digging deep into the times when genres were blurring, drum machines were plentiful, and systems were made for booming. It’s always love, baby.

About the Author:

Novelist, historian, playwright, and polemicist Jamyang Norbu is known as one of the leading exiled Tibetan writers at work today, principally on account of his numerous books and essays on Tibetan politics and history. His novel The Mandala of Sherlock Holmes won the Crossword Book Award (“India’s Booker”) in 2000, and has been translated into a dozen languages. He is also the author of Illusion and Reality, Buying the Dragon’s Teeth, Shadow Tibet, Don’t Stop the Revolution, and Echoes from Forgotten Mountains: Tibet in War and Peace. Norbu was a member of the Tibetan resistance force in the early 1970s. Norbu currently lives in New York City with his wife and two daughters.

About the Ragini Festival

The Ragini Festival explores art, creative impetus, and mythology from a post-continental India. Life after colonialism revealed a fractured South Asian identity, which has morphed into post-colonial identities of Indo-Caribbean, Fijian, Mauritian, and more. Representing Ragini Festival’s curatorial mission to “explore music that both captures folk and traditional art born out of the migrations of indentureship”  DJs Roshni Samlal, Zara Dekho, and offering rain will transport you into a trans-indies listening experience.

About the DJs

DJ Roshni Samlal is a New York–based tabla player who hails from the West Indies, where she was initiated into the ancient tradition of Indian classical music by her vocalist father. She has continued her tutelage in the Benares style of tabla, playing under Shri Tapan Modak and currently a student of the epic Farukhbad exponent Anindo Chatterjee. While her passion is Indian classical tabla, she has also played folk, jazz, and other genres. Samlal has performed at notable local venues such as Knitting Factory, Pianos, and The Bitter End.

Zara Dekho is a DJ and curator based in Brooklyn, and raised in Karachi. She is the co-runner of Brooklyn party and label Rare Frequency Transmissions, and more recently cofounded Tarka, a project and event series celebrating the diaspora through food, music, performances, and arts. Zara Dekho’s sets exhibit a versatility impacted by time and space, spanning genres such as house, techno, bass, and electro while paying homage to sounds of her South Asian roots.

offering rain, of the Disco Auntie collective, seeks to be of service to spirit, harmony, and joy. offering rain infuses playful sounds from various genres and pairs them with poetic lyricism to create a raw, dynamic, and innovative approach to music making and storytelling. As a multicultural first-generation artist born and raised in New York/Lenape land, they create a genreless experience by pulling from their Indian and Ecuadorian roots and tying them to the remix, fusion, and culture of NYC. Using dub, reggaeton, soul, techno, and Bollywood styles, offering rain tells an authentic story of their experience in New York and the world.
