DESCRIPTION:Apr 14 - Sep 20\, 2026\nDancehall emerged in Kingston in the la
 te 1970s as reggae’s harder\, faster\, more confrontational sibling—ro
 oted in the sound system\, the mobile institution that could turn a street
  corner into a dance floor\, and in the tradition of music as a political 
 act. Reggaetón grew from it\, traveling through Panama and Puerto Rico be
 fore going global. In the summer of 2019\, it became something else: on th
 e day that Puerto Rico’s governor Ricardo Roselló resigned under pressu
 re from mass protests\, LGBTQ+ and feminist activists led a session of per
 reo combativo—combative twerking—on the steps of the San Juan Cathedra
 l. A major exhibition\, “Dancing the Revolution” brings together more 
 than 40 artists—including Isaac Julien\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Lee “S
 cratch” Perry\, Edra Soto\, and Alberta Whittle—who explore these hist
 ories. “Without music you are all dead\,” Perry said\, “with music y
 ou are alive. There is nothing music can’t do.”
