Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Prepare to get bowled over at the Light Box at Goldman Warehouse when Miami Dade College’s Cultura del Lobo series unleashes Nora Chipaumire’s scalding presence on the intimate stage. The fiery Zimbabwean artist’s dance work is a visual, aural, and kinesthetic equivalent of Africa’s urban experience through a female lens — a reality full of contradictions, grace, defiance, vibrant, vulgar, and “now!” These dances are about loss, grief, displacement, trauma, and a confrontation with African brands that we have become complicit in selling, consuming, and perpetuating. The artist will present two solo works, Black Swan and Chimurenga, in one evening. A full-time member of American dance troupe Urban Bush Women, Chipaumire is the rare solo artist whose work is transnational, fearless, and illuminating.
