BAM DanceAfrica’s Council of Elders has been an instrumental part of the festival since its inception. In this roundtable discussion moderated by Dyane Harvey-Salaam, members of the Council discuss the importance of preserving the legacy of DanceAfrica, and their work to create connections among the ancestors, the art and culture of Africa and its diaspora. In conjunction with the ongoing DanceAfrica Oral History Project, this conversation serves as a gathering point and opportunity for the DanceAfrica community to ask questions.

This free event is open to all ages, but space is limited and pre-registration is recommended.
