SHIFT: Political Prisoners

Political Prisoners was part of dNaga’s SHIFT, performed at SOMArts Cultural Center in association with the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center. This dance was created in 2017, but still seems relevant today as we continue to face the reality of racism in America and its institutions.
