FRIDAY

Toshio Shibata Exhibit at Peabody Essex Museum

The Japanese photographer Toshio Shibata has spoken of the balance between natural and manmade environments in his images. He takes photographs of engineering works — "architecture" would be too grand a word — often situated in handsome settings. Dams and power plants are one thing. The industrial sublime is still sublime. Abutments, pavement, aquatic booms, those are quite another. How about a waterfall behind a chain-link fence?
The juxtaposition is all the more striking for Shibata's having photographed the fencing so that it looks like a vine."Toshio Shibata, Constructed Landscapes" runs at the Peabody Essex Museum through Dec. 31. The show consists of 28 photographs, taken between 1988 and 2012. Some are as large as 49 inches by 60 inches. None is smaller than 25 inches by 30 inches.

Salem Jazz and Soul Festival Presents:

BERKLEE SUMMER SERIES
@ Derby Square | Salem, MA | 5:30-7:30 pm
Saturday MAY 11
Rain location - The Vault, 217 Essex St

** FREE EVENT **

Boston, MA has created a class entitled "The Music and Life of Bob Marley"
takes an in-depth study of his life, maintaining the utmost respect for the
soulfulness of his music and for his message of LOVE and resistance to
oppression.

The recordings and performances of Bob Marley and his band represent near
perfection in terms of groove music and spirit-ful production. Rhythmic
layering, one of the legacies of the African musical Diaspora, is presented in
such gritty precision that its study is imperative and a great joy to experience.
