Dance of Freedom

Cecilia Lamptey-Botchway's show 'Make We Dance' explores the idea of dance as a form of movement. In the show, various figures strike poses, swirling and dancing.
These are snapshots of a longer version of events. We are invited, in a sense, to speculate the before and after lives of the painted moments. What was there before the being of the painting?
The movement is a tribute to the perseverance and freedom of the African woman. I invite my viewers to see how African women are redefining themselves to become independent, selfmade and serve as the foundational power of societies.
