Join us at the Marigny Opera House on Saturday, December 18th for “Temple of Color and Sound: Viva la Republica”, a contemplative conversation and installation by P.5 Programming Partner Kristina Kay Robinson.

”Temple of Color and Sound” is an itinerant gathering, ritual, and contemplative performance space. A place for spiritual and intellectual refuge and recreation; its proprietor, Maryam de Capita is an artist, mystic, and entertainer from Republica, a mythological free Black republic on the Gulf Coast of North America. With its capital located at the mouth of the Mississippi River, Republica has played an important role in the struggle for Black autonomy in the Western Hemisphere by using sound as its primary organizing principle and revolutionary strategy. Amid ever present natural and man-made threats to the security and autonomy of all the people of the Gulf Coast, Maryam presents her philosophy about the use of objects, text, and the chops and loops of popular and sacred music as self actualizing modalities and vehicles toward collective liberation. 

Doors open at 6pm, conversation begins at 7pm.

To ensure the safety of all guests, this event has limited capacity and Covid-19 protocols have been implemented. Please arrive on time to secure your seat with proof of Covid-19 vaccination or a negative PCR test from within 72 hours.
