Jamaican dancer, Yoruba priestess and anthropologist Dr. Yanique Hume brings an interdisciplinary approach to Caribbean dance, embodiment and identity, situating categories of movement within histories of migration and resistance. Her work connects academic inquiry with choreographic practice. Curaçaoan filmmaker, dancer, professor and choreographer Gabri Christa responds through narrative, filmic and movement-based explorations of Surinamese womanhood and diasporic memory. Together, they explore storytelling through the body and lens.
