About the event
The 1st Annual International African Diaspora Dance Traditions Conference
"Honoring traditional and spiritual dances of African diaspora: Reuniting, Remembering, Resisting"
August 4-10, 2024 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
The International African Diaspora Dance Traditions Conference (IADDTC) will facilitate its first annual conference, "Honoring traditional and spiritual dances of African diaspora: Reuniting, Remembering, Resisting" August 4-10th, 2024. This 7-day event will combine scholarly presentations, creative workshops, and performances on African diaspora dance arts. The goal is to facilitate cross-cultural conversations between the artists, scholars, traditional and spiritual practitioners.
The conference will explore how African diaspora dance (spiritual and traditional) has served as a tool of agency and emancipation against capitalistic ascriptions, oppression, and anti-Black racism in American contexts. Participants are encouraged to investigate how African diaspora dances are practiced to develop solidarity, consciousness and identification between people who might otherwise be regionally, culturally, or spiritually separated, but similar.
We invite researchers, artists…
