Sankofa Residency with Kendra J. Ross

  • Cumbe 1368 Fulton Street BROOKLYN United States (map)

In-Person Workshop | FREE !
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 Ghanian concept of Sankofa-looking backwards 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.

Refreshments will be served.

This work is presented as the culminating work of the 2022 Create Change BedStuy Artists in Residence of the Laundromat Project in partnership with Bailey's Cafe and Cumbe: Center for African and Diaspora Dance.
