WMI Plus At Home - Mali Obomsawin and Filmmaker Julian Brave Noisecat ("Sugarcane")
WMI PLUS At Home experiences bring music from around the world into the comfort of your home. Renowned artists share their lives, instruments, and stories from their personal environments, bringing an intimacy and uniqueness to each event. These talks are led by fellow musicians, journalists, and ethnomusicologists. Live captioning will be provided during the event.
We are thrilled to provide these events for FREE. If you are able to donate any amount while registering for this event, it will help us keep the music playing. Thank you!
Monday, September 29, 2025 – 6 PM EST
WMI Plus At Home Experiences are free of charge, but you must register to reserve your space. You will receive an order confirmation once your registration is complete that includes the link to the event. Only registered participants will receive email instructions on how to join the event via Zoom online. Bring your questions! The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with attendees posting their questions electronically for live answers.
Just ahead of her performance at Roulette on Oct 30, bassist, composer, vocalist, and proud member of the Odanak First Nation, Mali Obomsawin, joins us for a WMI Plus At Home conversation with writer, Oscar-nominated filmmaker, champion powwow dancer, and student of Salish art and history Julian Brave Noisecat. Mali composed the score for the 2024 Academy Award-nominated film Sugarcane, a National Geographic documentary by Julian and Emily Kassie about child abuse and disappearances at an Indian residential school in Canada. Mali and her band will perform the score live during the film’s screening.
