#DIGNITYINPROCESS
#DignityInProcess is a multidisciplinary platform in response to the Black Lives Matter movement merging art activism, ancestral healing, and intersectional identity evolution within the Afro-Indigenous Diaspora. Bringing together movement, ritual, storytelling, and collective artmaking, #DignityInProcess draws upon the practices that have sourced the resilience of our ancestors for generations. Gathering Wisdom Councils of Mixed Race, African-Native American, and Creole elders—multigenerational conversations lay the foundation for embodied accountability to sustain a movement of Black Liberation. Afro-futures emerge through site-specific performances, subversive theatre direct actions, and community workshops celebrating the dignity of Black evolution.
