Artist Tsedaye Makonnen's performance art "Astral Sea" The Need for Collective Refuge" at the Met Museum

From the Met Museum's website "Ethiopian-American multidisciplinary artist Tsedaye Makonnen, whose Astral Sea textiles are displayed as part of The Met's Africa & Byzantium exhibition, activates the textiles with The Need for Collective Refuge, a new site-specific performance that journeys through the history of the Byzantine Era's African diaspora. Join us for this unique processional meditation on resilience, memory and migration, which merges spiritual, ceremonial, and performative elements of the Astral Sea series and explores the power of collective action and the potential for a better future."
