CORRECTION: On pg. 12 of the May Agenda, the photo was paired with the incorrect project. The photo is from the dance-theater project “inCopNegro,” which is led by Dominic Moore-Dunson and explores the concept of safety related to Black communities and police relations. The photo credit is Ashton Blake of Blaak Media.
