Mapping the Afterlives Archiving Session with Gesel Mason

Join us in this powerful dialogue as choreographer and scholar Gesel Mason reflects on her journey transforming lived performance into lasting legacy — from dancing solos by legendary Black choreographers to building a forward‑looking digital archive for future generations. Guided by poet/performer/curator Jaamil Olawale Kosoko, the conversation traverses memory, identity, and the urgency of preservation. Discover why dance isn’t just movement — it’s history, lineage, and care for stories often erased. 🔸 What does it mean to archive a body in motion? 🔸 How can dance legacies resist erasure and remain accessible? 🔸 What responsibilities come with documenting Black, embodied histories? Tune in to hear how the archival impulse becomes a radical act of remembrance, representation, and hope for the future.
