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
Experiencing culture with the ones that create it
Experience ERA sends students, artisans, facilitators, and leaders across the globe to share and receive knowledge with indigenous and diaspora communities.
Setting the precedent
Four things every expedition builds toward
Culture
Discovering the music, dance, visual art, and culinary art of a country through the eyes of the people who create it.
Education
Using our newly gained knowledge to share with global audiences on screen expanding traditional worldviews
Economics
Developing relationships across various industries to secure business and investment opportunities.
Leadership
Inspiring individuals across the diaspora to act toward creating more effective leaders.
Desired outcomes
What a successful expedition delivers
1
Collaborate to bridge the gap between two different worldviews.
2
Exchange musical knowledge and cultural practices, broadening each other's world view.
3
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.
4
Document the journey to share the culture with national and international audiences.
Four tracks, one crew
How the collaboration works
Visual Art
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.
Dance
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.
Culinary
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
Experience ERA Docuseries
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.
