From 2010 to 2018 I participated in an artist’s collaborative research project called Secrets Under the Skin, based in Cuba and the Volta region of Ghaha/Togo. Under the direction of Dr. Jill Flanders Crosby, a multi-media team of American and Cuban artists and academics researched the cultural connections between several small towns in Matanzas Province, Cuba and several traditional villages in Ghana/Togo. A book about the project, Situated Narratives of SacredDance will be out in May 2021.
