Project ChArma has adapted their newest work, TIDES, for the virtual meeting ground. Conceived by Project ChArma co-director Ama Law, TIDES interrogates legacy and how one stays connected to ancestral knowledge in the face of generations of grief and trauma. The theme of water as a passageway and vehicle for movement of the African diaspora brings together collaborators to create a distanced site for resistance, renewal, and rebirth.
