Sankofa Dance Theater: 30 Years of Music Movement and Folkways

Founded in 1989 by Kibibi Ajanku, a visionary dancer seeking to foster creativity and community in Baltimore and beyond, Sankofa Dance Theater became a beacon of African artistry. For over three decades, Sankofa Dance Theater has illuminated stages from Baltimore to West Africa, promoting healing and understanding through African dance, music, and folkways. Their commitment to the Sankofa principle-learning from the past to build for the future- guided their mission of cultural preservation and global connection. Sankofa Dance Theater: 30 Years of Music Movement and Folkways highlights the history of the troupe through scholarly essays and archival photographs that elevate their international and regional impact. Contributors include Dr. Leslie King Hammond, Dr. Kokavah Zauditu-Selassie, Angela N Carroll, Kibibi Ajanku and Olu Butterfly Woods.
