The Light Fantastical by Makeda Thomas: Friday, August 16, 8:00p.m.
Through multiple presentations, dance artist Makeda Thomas will use live performance, text, and installation to examine culture and identity through the lens of the fantastical. The Light Fantastical is an open series of artistic explorations of the metaphors for art and technology that come out of Afrofuturist culture--or, more appropriately, "Caribbean Futurisms"--which considers how Caribbean cultural forms navigate time and space and innovate new histories, sciences, and aesthetics.
