N.C. Dancers Respond to RESIST COVID / TAKE 6!: Alyah Baker, Lee Edwards and Courtney Liu

“We are drawn to Carrie Mae Weems’ work because she illustrates how public art can help communities process the complex social challenges posed by COVID-19. … We believe art can call attention to the interconnectedness of our collective histories and inspire us to work together towards a healthier and more equitable future.” – Alyah Baker, Lee Edwards and Courtney Liu, MFA candidates at Duke
