| The Red Room in Your Room | David Serotte – Bashi Rose – Thomas Dimuzio
Bashi Rose is a Baltimore-based filmmaker, teaching artist, theatre artist, and musician. His work has been produced or screened at venues including Centerstage in Baltimore, Theatre Project, Creative Alliance, the Schomburg Center in Harlem, VH1 Soul, the Lafayette Theatre in New York City, Black Panther Party Film Festival, Black Femme Supremacy Film Festival, and the San Francisco Black Film festival.
Bashi began playing the drum-kit as a creative tool for mental/spiritual healing and as a bridge between the spirit and physical world— connecting him to his ancestors. In 2019 he was honored to play drum-kit on the Ocean Bridges album with the legend Archie Shepp.
In 2018 he cofounded Konjur Collective which incorporates the talents of a host of musicians and artists forming a creative mash-up of artistic expression for the advancement of experimental, radical, spiritual, and improvisational Black Music and culture. Konjur is looking forward to their first album release later this year with Astral Spirits Records.
