Web: https://cumbedance.org/Come, witness, dance, and play at the Culminating Performance of the Sankofa Residency! The Sankofa Residency is a multi-phase project that is both rooted in the history of Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY, and an afro-futurist imagining of BedStuy moving forward. Taking the Ghanaian concept of Sankofa-looking backward in order to move forward-this project uses research, oral history, and collaborative imagining to facilitate a plan for residents, businesses, and stakeholders to emerge from COVID in a place of healing, thriving, and progress.
Come join us as we share our embodied research through an interactive, interdisciplinary dance performance.
