Black Dance: Shifting Culture and Defying Gravity celebrates the powerful influence Black dance has on culture. Black dance is an influential tool which is often commodified and where profits and credit are seldom given to the creators or originators. Experiments recently done on social media have made us aware that the world doesn’t move unless Black people move. With this project, I want to provide a glimpse of how moments of play and spontaneity can easily turn into a performance amongst friends, families, and even strangers. For no matter where it is done, Black dance always finds a way to shift culture and continues to defy gravity.
