Land and Home Project in Action

Afro Mundi, an Afro-Indigenous youth dance company group from Amazonian Brazil visited New York, New Jersey and Connecticut as part of the larger project Rios de Encontro (Rivers of Meeting) tour, coordinated by the Transformance Institute, part of the Brazilian Network of Arteducators. Rios de Encontro completed 22 performances and 42 workshops in 12 schools and four cultural centres, co-funded by the international award received last year.

AfroMundi had the inspiring opportunity to visit Sonya Baehr’s school to present their latest Amazonian-Contemporary dance piece 'Dry Tears' and coordinate three workshops as a contribution to IDEA's 'Land and Home' project.
