A movement born out of migration and distance—out of likeness and difference. In this mutually birthed language we seek to obliterate the illusion that we are separate from each other and the environment that holds us together. We are no bigger or smaller. We are a brotherhood. A kinship.

Kaduna, Nigeria

Until the awakening, the Baju tribe had long forgotten this art, a form of expression that brings solace, togetherness and joy. This call re-unites the tribe as they move to rhythm, passing through space and time, following that one voice that leads them back to their purpose.
