When We Gather was performed in conjunction with the National Gallery of Art’s Afro-Atlantic Histories exhibition, on view until July 17, 2022.

  • The idea came to María Magdalena Campos-Pons in a dream: women of all ages, races and sizes all in white, moving counter-clockwise in a circle around the White House. Circular motion as healing or cleansing ritual from her Yoruban heritage, and linked to Native American, Jewish and other cultures.
