Great work from the crews of Malidelphia, Nanfoule, and Delou Africa on the opening of our joint project “Sira.”
A celebration of West African folklore—especially mask dancing—curated across both analog and digital spaces, bringing together generations, instruments, locations, and cultures. Proud of everyone involved.
Here are some pics from this weekend’s events.
