Latina, Native American, African American and Asian American women creatively answer the question in Nuwu Art Gallery + Community Center’s latest exhibit. Their responses are intertwined with the diverse legacies they come from. Taking from the cultures and experiences of those who came before them, the artists Avis Charley, Adriana Chavez, Sapira Cheuk, Fawn Douglas, Sleepy Ephem, Q’shaundra James, Kamora Jones, Sol Martinez, Jung Min, Naes Pierott, Krystal Ramirez, Vogue Robinson, Erica Vital-Lazare and Xochil Xitlalli show what lies ahead through painting, photography and mixed mediums. Along with the exhibit, Nuwu Art is hosting weaving workshops on Wednesdays this month for anyone interested in learning traditional and nontraditional textile work, and connecting with traditions.

ARTS: LAS VEGAS PHILHARMONIC: RHAPSODY IN BLUE When George Gershwin composed the Jazz Age masterpiece Rhapsody in Blue in January 1924—under a five-week time crunch, completely from scratch, to meet a concert deadline—it’s unlikely he knew it would become an American monument, but here it is. An orchestra of 84 pianists played Rhapsody at the opening of the 1984 Olympic Games; Disney set the piece to animation in Fantasia 2000; United Airlines co-opted the piece as its theme music. The Las Vegas Philharmonic, pianist Clayton Stephenson and conductor Donato Cabrera will honor this sublime piece of music at its century mark, as the highlight of a program that will also feature William Levi Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony. 7:30 p.m., $29-$126, Reynolds Hall, thesmithcenter.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: JUANES Latin music currently basks in a global spotlight. Artists like Peso Pluma, Karol G, Bad Bunny and Kali Uchis have collectively shifted the world’s focus to their Latinidad flair, but those in the know can attest to its long lived influence on the music industry. Colombian-born superstar Juanes is among those who’ve paved the way since the early 2000s. While many of his early contemporaries chased English-language fame, Juanes conquered the globe with his Spanish hits, amassing 26 Latin Grammy Awards and selling over 15 million records globally, making him one of the best-selling Latin music artists in history. And Las Vegas gets to relish the unparalleled talent that reverberates through generations at the Palms. 8 p.m., $55-$210, Pearl Concert Theater, ticketmaster.com. –Gabriela Rodriguez

Drumline Live

Drumline Live

MISC: DRUMLINE LIVE Dancing to the beat of one’s own drum is the through line of every historical black college and university marching band. An HBCU band parades its talent with attitude, flair and with a time-tested confidence that dates back to the 1800s, when Tuskegee University established the Marching Crimson Pipers band. The drumline is understandably the heartbeat of the ensemble, having been celebrated in 2002’s Drumline, starring Nick Cannon, 2014’s Drumline: A New Beat and now Drumline Live, a musical ensemble founded by Don P. Roberts, the executive band consultant of those two films. Fans of the “HBCU-style” will get a chance to hear the soulful music and see the action up close as the band unleashes its splashy percussion on a series of Top 40 hits. 7:30 p.m., $35-$85, Reynolds Hall, drumlinelive.com. –Amber Sampson
