Artistic Director Rafael Palacios’ motivation has been to rewrite the history of Black communities through the eyes of those directly involved, Afro-descendants in Colombia and elsewhere. Palacios’ view is that history has always been written by the oppressor, while the oppressed were denied a voice. So, utilizing the voices of the Sankofa dancers and musicians, he has been creating choreographies for over 20 years focused on retelling history from a point of view that has been ignored for centuries.
