Rolex continues its efforts to facilitate the transmission of knowledge and experience in the arts with the Rolex Arts Weekend.

Perpetuating the Arts

In September, the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative and Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) jointly hosted the Rolex Arts Weekend. This multidisciplinary showcase took place over two days, and saw four select artists and their works being presented to Brooklyn — as well as the greater New York area.

The Rolex Arts Weekend is the culmination of the 2020 to 2022 cycle of the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative. Like previous editions of the programme, each chosen artist — there were four this time — was paired with a mentor who provided guidance and advice. The Rolex Arts Weekend was thus the platform for the four protégés to present their works after two years of creative exchanges with their respective mentors.

WORKS ACROSS THE SPECTRUM

The works that were shown over the Rolex Arts Weekend were as varied as they were impressive. Director, screenwriter and cinematographer Agustina San Martín, who was mentored by Lin-Manuel Miranda, premiered her film directorial debut Childhood Echoes. Framed primarily as a documentary with elements of holographic projection, the work explores humanity’s experience of music through interviews, images, and an original score.
