This Sacred Placeshows new worlds unfolding in two stories of tradition and hometown pride.
You Can't Stop Spirit centers the Baby Doll Mardi Gras masking tradition: a group of self-liberated Black women who created an alternative social space where they are encouraged to be free.
Coming Home looks at a collective of Palestinian-American dancers living in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn who use traditional Dabka as a way to connect to their community and homeland.
