T. Ayo Alston comes to Ann Arbor for a week of guest teaching, panel conversations and performance. While in residence, Alston will build upon a past work, Femme DeLa Force: Herstory to Tell (2014) and HerStory II Tell: Inside her Eyes (2020), using West African dance styles to tell the story of women warriors who have successfully and/or powerfully challenged systems, governments and male dominated conquerors to maintain their land, integrity or their people.
