WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Sept. 4 at 6 pm on the Fernández Terrace, the Clark Art Institute presents a free sunset concert by Haitian-American music producer LDER as part of its DJs at Sunset series.

 

The DJs at Sunset series is presented in celebration of the exhibition, "Kathia St. Hilaire: Invisible Empires." Kathia St. Hilaire (b. 1995, West Palm Beach, Florida; lives and works in New York), whose parents immigrated to the United States from Haiti, tells stories of the island nation's history and the long shadows it casts, from French colonialism to independence, from U.S. occupation to the diasporic communities in which she was raised. The exhibition is on view through Sept. 22 in the Lunder Center at Stone Hill.

 

According to a press release:

 

Ludjy Derisier, also known as LDER, draws inspiration from the electronic drum and bass beats of Cartoon Network's anime block Toonami. LDER blends upbeat percussion and melodic sounds with samples of beeps and blips. He was the organizer of East Meets Beats at EMW Bookstore in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and currently organizes the "Beats on the Beach" program for Save the Harbor/Save the Bay in Boston.

 

Free. Bring a picnic and a blanket. For accessibility questions, call 413 458 0524. Rain moves the performance to the Clark Center lower level.
