AS IF BY MAGIC
Drawing on Alice Walker’s In Search of Our Mothers Gardens as a guiding text, As If By Magic is a by invitation only performance that platforms a collective investigation of memory, matrilineal knowledge, and the tools women of color use to care for themselves in times of transition.
