Epigentic - be the healing

Who are your ancestors? Who are you? What are your feel-good traditions/rituals? What traumas and talents, what strategies of resistance have you inherited? Whatis genetic and what is learned? What does your path to healing look like? Our life experiences and those of our ancestors are embedded as additional information in certain areas of our DNA. Who decides which of these are activated or “silently” stored and passed on?

In an audiovisual dance performance, "Epigenetics: Be the Healing," the Orè Arts Collective explores and reflects on these questions about the epigenetic influences on Black/African communities. To better understand, grasp, and experience the paths of healing that our ancestors have walked, we continue on these paths—for ourselves and with our ancestors and descendants.
