    Photographs From Passage Project

    • La Biblioteca Tercera Raíz: Padre Glyn Jeemott
      THE PASSAGE PROJECT is a book and documentary theater piece combining text, video, and music; a meditation on the diverse voices that exist within Africa and the diaspora. These stories reveal how geographic location, culture, socioeconomic status and language directly shape identity. Ultimately, THE PASSAGE PROJECT serves as an exploration into human nature that people of all cultures can relate to by transcending traditional ideas of race and identity. The photographs help put the stories into context by illustrating each storyteller’s experience. (All photographs by Trina Michelle Robinson)
