Abstract

The article focuses on Monique Martin's "Minty Fresh Circus" performance at Lincoln Center in New York, reimagining circus arts as a Black diasporic cultural form rooted in ancestry, joy, and liberation. Topics include its conceptual inspiration from Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, the integration of Sankofa and Afrofuturism within its narrative structure, and its fusion of music, movement, and ritual to celebrate cultural memory and creative resistance.
