DOOR OF NO RETURN
THE BODY REMEMBERS - THE BODY RECLAIMS
A full body artist, Gregory Maqoma, navigates his own identity through a deeply personal narrative performed at the House of Slaves on Goree Island, Senegal, a landmark to one of humanity’s most horrific journeys. Yearning for a way to move through past and present complexities, Gregory’s artistry breaks down walls and reframes history.
