32 TIMES • MARCH 19 - mARCH 25, 2015 >MAR 19-25 March 19 Guitarist Francisco Roldán performs music from Columbia, the Dominican Republic, Spain, Venezuela and the United States. 6 p.m. at Queens Library Woodhaven 85-41 Forest Parkway. March 20 “From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf” is a result of four years of dialogue, friendship and exchange between CAMP, an art group, and a group of sailors from the Gulf of Kutch. Their travels, and those of co-seafarers from Pakistan and Southern Iran, through the Persian and Aden Gulfs show us a world cut into many pieces, not easily bridged by nostalgics or nationalists. We follow the physical crossings made by these groups of people who make and sail boats. And who also make videos, sometimes with songs married to them.
