Miami Light Project, Inc.

Miami Light Project will present the dance piece “portrait of myself as my father” by Nora Chipaumire in October of 2016 at The Light Box at Goldman Warehouse. Performed by Nora Chipaumire and Senegalese dancer Kaolack, “portrait of myself as my father” considers the African male through the lens of cultural traditions, colonialism, Christianity, and liberation struggles, constructing and deconstructing black African masculinity. Placed in a boxing ring, an arena that suggests strength, courage and violence, the "players" find themselves as commodity, product and process.
