In the Spring we collected over 100 “Letters of Love” from students and adults all throughout the Bronx addressed to mothers whom have lost their children to police brutality. Aside from all the letters being sent to mothers in the coming fall, a different letter will appear in each live performance of “A Mother’s Rite”. Hope you’ll join us on Thursday night at @summerstage in Marcus Garvey Park to see how the letters are incorporated into the ballet! #blackirisproject #blacklivesmatter #BIPlettersoflove #amothersrite 📷 by @argenisphoto, courtesy of @bronxmuseum
