CCI Presents: "We’re Magic. We’re Real # 3 (These Walls)" Braiding Circle by Jeannette Ehlers

Artist Jeanette Ehlers invites the Afro-Caribbean/Caribbean diaspora to collaborate on an intergenerational braiding circle. Community members will have the opportunity to co-create six 52-foot-long braids that Ehlers and performers will use during their live performance. The project reminds members of the diaspora and audiences everywhere that “history is not the past.” Using hair to create and shape the relationship between culture, nature, body, landscape, history and the present.
