Deep Breath is an anti-racist, art-as-activism poem in three parts, by Dr. Nia Nunn. Danced to, by members of her Ithaca community
One summer, during an uprising, and a global pandemic, a group of people gathered at the Cherry Arts space in Ithaca, New York to rally around Dr. Nia Nunn's poem, Deep Breath.
Local activists, dancers, and volunteers came to dance out our anger and to breathe into what hurts.
After we danced, we sat with each performer for an interview.
