GOINGS ON ABOUT TOWN



In 2014, the Venezuelan singer and producer Alejandra Ghersi, who records as Arca, emerged as a
forward-thinking electronic artist with an inventive, almost alien sensibility. In 2020, her focus shifted
and she released the album “kick i,” the first in a series that moves toward a more pop sound, featuring
art-pop progressives such as Björk and Rosalía. On Dec. 3, Arca completes the anthology, sharing the
remaining three installments of the project, each carrying on an extended metaphor of individuation.

As New York City venues reopen, it’s advisable to confirm in advance the requirements for in-person attendance.
