Snowdrop Belmont: Dance of Silence

Schedule:

Wed 27 May 6 pm 

Sat 4 July 1 pm 

Wed 12 August 5 pm

“The artist dances quietly through the museum, the only sound coming from the beads they wear. They are in a meditative state as they move, seemingly unaware of you, yet you are a part of the work. You are welcome to follow the dance but remember to stay silent and present.  

I explore my cultural heritage as an Ijaw person, a minority tribe in Nigeria, through creating clothing and dancing Ijaw dance steps. The crocheted, beaded outfit is inspired by my heritage and accessorised with traditional pieces.”
