When we flow, we grow. This is the freedom of freestyle.
Mindy Ng, Bryan Chu, Jessica Bailey, Lyn Bafour, and Moscelyne ParkeHarrison were the beacons that ignited the Freedom of Freestyle across both floors of the museum. They guided visitors into the afternoon expression session, the Movement Lab, exploring raw movement, playfulness, and authentic exploration.
“A tribute to the roots of hip-hop, an embodied celebration of Black cultural expression. It begins grounded in legacy, bringing to life the energy of the streets where dance became the language of release, resistance, and joy. This is a living, breathing spontaneous exchange. Enter the space with care, moving to honor and share with awareness and respect. We start by tuning into ourselves, then into each other.”
Thank you for holding space for us to embrace the raw and imperfect parts of ourselves, adverse to the perfect artifacts we were always told to show up as. 🤍
