On May 27, 2023, the project supports a new collaborative work featuring dance artists Beverly Lopez/REDi Dance Co in collaboration with stylist/set design by visual artist Leenda Bonilla and special cameos by dance artists Rokafella and Cynthia Paniagua.
The work - TO WITNESS & BE WITNESSED - centers on acts of witnessing as a conversation on growth occurring in solitude, and the complexities of that process. This piece honors sisterhood, community witnesses, and romantic dynamics to acknowledge their importance in feeling connected and seen.
