Awóyẹmí Prolific Fáṣẹ́gun-Jones

Yesterday was a dream come true. My dear friend @ebonynoellegolden invited me to be a part of The Divining: Ceremonies from in the name of the m/other tree. In true @jupiterperformancestudio fashion, we engaged the community of Harlem, singing in the streets, walking, dancing, and engaging in community performance ritual.

In the spirit of the ancestors, I was surprised and elated to reconnect with my cousin @afroanarchy, who shared the same performance space with me.

Yesterday I sat at the feet of legendary elders, and fed two braids with one seed. This amazing experience was co-presented by the @apollotheater and @natblacktheatre. The poetry I wrote and shared for this event lives at the intersection of my Egungun @laundromat_proj residency and my Ifa practice under the tutelage of @alaje256 @the256healingcenter.

Thank you Ebony, and congratulations on the beginning of an amazing event.
