A Retrospective at The Peale
225 Holiday Street – Baltimore, MD
Since 1989, Baltimore-based Sankofa Dance Theater has created world-class, authentic African art in the form of dance, music, and folkways for national and international audiences. The work of the Company is rooted in healing and bringing intercultural understanding to the global village while staying true to the definition of the word “Sankofa” which means to learn from the past in an effort to build for the future.
This interactive exhibition features a look back at the work of Sankofa Dance Theater, utilizing costumes, archival materials, historical footage, and environments designed to transport visitors into the past, and into the future.
In the spirit of West African Griot tradition, we are turning to the community for their support in ensuring that the stories of Sankofa Dance Theater can be experienced by all.
There are three ways to support this exhibition:
–Donate to help assist with production costs, and receive a Sankofa Passport!
–Purchase tickets for the exhibition and special events
–Share your Sankofa Story to be included in the exhibition
