Confluence: Flow

Water returns. You can try to reroute it, dam it up, force it underground, but water knows how to find its level. It returns, eventually. The movement for racial justice in Minnesota is like a river, people finding their ways to the places that need devotional attention, sites of violence on everyday street corners — the banality of state sanctioned violence evident in impromptu gatherings of grief and resistance. At this time of unprecedented hope and difficulty. Ananya Dance Theatre, Penumbra, and Frogtown Farms partnered to celebrate the resilience and interconnectedness of diverse communities in the Twin Cities by using processional dance to bring black and Asian communities together via routes that traverse displacement, relocation, refuge and gentrification.
