Join Urban Bush Women's Archivist Camille Lawrence and Director of Marketing and Communications Makeda Smith for a virtual exploration of their journeys preserving more than 40 years of Urban Bush Women dance history.

This webinar reflects on a preservation practice that began four decades ago and shares the five-year initiative to recover, organize, and provide access to archival materials across multiple media formats. Attendees will gain insight into how materials were identified and restored, what preservation looks like in practice, as an ongoing, collective practice rooted in memory, movement, and responsibility.
