SUMMARY:Step Afrika! The Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence
DESCRIPTION:Charleston Gaillard Center\, International African American Museum\, and MOJA Arts Festival Present \nSTEP AFRIKA!\nThe Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence\nFollowing their extraordinary presentation of Drumfolk in 2023\, Step Afrika! returns with their signature work The Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence which charts the story of African Americans moving from the rural South to the industrial North to escape Jim Crow\, racial oppression\, and lynchings in the early 1900s. Inspired by Jacob Lawrence’s iconic 60-panel “The Migration Series” (1940-41)\, this iconic work from the award-winning dance company uses the images\, color palette\, and motifs in the painting series to tell this story through pulsating rhythms and visually stunning movement. As part of its ongoing commitment to presenting Southern stories that have shaped the nation’s history and identity\, the Gaillard has curated this work in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.
