Upcoming Shows

Ogden After Hours ft. No-No Boy

A multimedia event that combines original songs, storytelling and archival images to provide the audience with an immersive experience that explores difficult histories of immigration, refugees, race, empire and incarceration. By transforming his doctoral research into a concert, musician/scholar Dr. Julian Saporiti delivers a deeply researched performance that entertains as it educates, deftly blending scholarship and art and offering a model for public-facing academic work. No-No Boy has completed several national tours and released two albums (1975 and Empire Electric) on the Smithsonian Folkways Record Label. For his performance at Ogden Museum, Dr. Saporiti will curate a special selection of his songs that explore the Vietnamese American experience and interact with the Hoa Tay (Flower Hands) exhibit, in which he and his wife Emilia Saporiti’s mixed media work is exhibited.

In addition to the live music, enjoy a food pop-up, cash bar, and an art activity table for kids to enjoy!
