In the spirit of Hip Hop, Roger Mooking has “sampled” his own original artworks to create a series of new pieces in this multi disciplinary exhibit called SoundBites. The exhibition is a ‘celebration of chaos for an attention deficit world’, reflected in the combination of visual, text, audio, and video experiences offered to viewers. Exploring the journey through the cycles of life, SoundBites is presented in three “movements” The Learning, The Living and The Leaving.
Roger Mooking: Soundbites is the featured exhibition for the 2024 AGH art+music+food Festival which runs from Sept. 12 to Oct. 6, with special events including an artist talk, vinyl night and finale dinner.
Roger Mooking is a local celebrity chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, and visual and recording artist born in Trinidad and raised in Canada. Roger Mooking is recognized for creating immersive art experiences showcasing a globally inspired vision that reflects his rich family heritage, love for people and travel.
Visitors are encouraged to bring a smartphone and connected headphone / earbuds to enjoy the exhibit as intended, with the music.
