Music
Time set aside for ERA's artists to collaborate with local talent, exchanging knowledge, styles, and technique. The result is distributed worldwide for every collaborator involved.
The ERA Travel Program
Experience ERA sends students, artisans, facilitators, and leaders across the globe to share and receive knowledge with indigenous and diaspora communities — using music, dance, visual art, and food to bridge two different worldviews, with a documentary crew along to bring the story home.
Setting the precedent
Building on the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services across the diaspora.
Enlightening youth across the diaspora with a better understanding of good earnings, good health, and a good atmosphere.
Motivating youth across the diaspora to act toward creating more effective leaders.
Encompassing a new language of unity and progression, with the intention of creating a new future.
Desired outcomes
1
Use the arts as a tool to contribute to “less heard” voices.
Collaborate with artists and musicians to record projects dealing with social issues.
Distribute those projects through various social mediums.
2
Exchange musical knowledge and cultural practices, broadening each other's world view.
3
Collaborate to bridge the gap between two different worldviews.
4
Document the journey to share the culture with national and international audiences.
Four tracks, one crew
Time set aside for ERA's artists to collaborate with local talent, exchanging knowledge, styles, and technique. The result is distributed worldwide for every collaborator involved.
Visual artists capture the culture, the feeling, and the social and political climate of the moment in ways traditional media can't — and perform live alongside the music.
Dancers work exclusively with dancers of that nation to learn the region's movement and style. Midway through, they join the musicians to build choreography for a closing showcase.
ERA's culinary artists learn local crops, herbs, and technique from local chefs — and teach their own in return. Together, the kitchen feeds the crew daily and the community at the finale show.
Documenting the journey
A media team is active for the duration of each trip — filming and photographing the travel and the collaboration itself. The footage becomes part of an ongoing documentary series, produced to put the culture of underserved communities in a good light, encourage others to expand their own outlook through travel, and build a historical archive ERA can draw on for years.
