A Visual Narrative: How Dance is Used to Identify & Connect with Each Other.

Inspired by the Childish Gambino – This is America video, this shoot aims to visually explore the narrative that surrounds black women from the diaspora and dance. Often labelled as being too hypersexual and low in socioeconomic hierarchy yet appropriated and celebrated when practiced by the same bodies that attach those negative stigmas, dance continues to be a form of bonding and familiarity amongst black bodies.
