Rooted in powerful Afro-Colombian and Afro-contemporary dance, Rafael Palacios’ latest feature for Colombia-based Sankofa Danzafro, Accommodating Lie, challenges the “exotic” label Western colonial culture has assigned to black bodies. Uplifted by live music and song, the artists of Sankofa reclaim their representation through a series of emotional dances in which they embody decades of slavery and racism. Accommodating Lie is a powerful call for awareness that dismantles stereotypes and clichés about the black body throughout history and today.
