Material Shift showcases work by 13 Haudenosaunee artists who employ found objects and other unconventional materials to create or illustrate traditional cultural objects or concepts and those who, conversely, explore traditional materials in unexpected ways. Works range from playful to provocative. These events are made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Institute of Museum & Library Services, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and friends and members of the Iroquois Museum.

Get ready to dance! African, Caribbean, funk, reggae, and Latin grooves collide with traditional New England old-time and Celtic fiddle in the genre-defying sound of Gaslight Tinkers. Since 2012, I-Shea, Clara, Garrett, Elie, and Peter have brought their joyous, high-energy performances to clubs, dances, and festivals across the U.S. and Caribbean, blending global rhythms with a core of melody, song, and boundless positive energy. The Valley Advocate calls their music “fizzes and pops with unexpected textures and turns”—expect surprises, elation, and exuberant musicianship.

Opening the evening is Luke Concannon, former lead singer of UK No.1 chart act Nizlopi (The JCB Song), now making waves as a solo artist. His 2022 album Ecstatic Bird in the Burning debuted at No.12 on both the UK and US folk charts, showcasing the playful, heartfelt music he’s been creating since childhood.

A night of irresistible rhythms, lively melodies, and unforgettable grooves—don’t miss it!
