The Moments Project

THE PHASES

Moments consists of several phases: Afrocentric artistic experiences that explore the unique perspective of African immigrants in the United States. It is an experimental collaboration of artistic expressions by creatives of color that explore this unique black perspective with contemporary African dance at the forefront through Film, Art, Photo, and on the Stage.
