Pivotal Moments

 

Flyer created in 2019 for Doc Powell, Founder of the Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers by Ms. Afrika Abney. 



“Back when Art All Night first took root in the Shaw neighborhood in 2011, I was enthusiastically involved in providing numerous services. 


As the years went by, my journey took me through various artistic landscapes, culminating in a significant opportunity in 2019. That year, I had the privilege of collaborating with the Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers, who showcased their incredible talents at Art All Night in Deanwood. 


Despite my involvement in these pivotal moments, I did not participate in the H Street Festival or Art All Night, reflecting my evolving focus and the different avenues through which I engage with the arts community.”


I provided services for the Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers from 2001 - 2020. I have not provided any services for them since 2020. 


Selected Expertise & Skills: I bring a unique blend of creativity, organizational skills, and a deep understanding of community engagement to the table. My ability to collaborate with artists and organizations from diverse backgrounds has allowed me to create impactful and memorable artistic experiences.
