MOIFA kicks off Black History month with music, dance and literature. Agalu returns to present two West African drumming and dance performances at 1 and 3pm; appropriate for all ages.
2PM
A handmade doll in the exhibit Multiple Visions: A Common Bond inspired New Mexico Centennial Author Vaunda Micheax Nelson to write Almost to Freedom, the story of a young girl's journey to freedom via the Underground Railroad, related through the eyes of her handmade doll. A case of black rag dolls from the 1800- 1900's caught Nelson's attention, and piqued her imagination to wonder what the dolls might say if they could talk. The illustrations by Colin Bootman, earned the book the 2004 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Award. The Museum of International Folk Art is pleased to invite the public to meet the author for a special presentation on the book at 2pm as part of the Black History Month celebration.
