Centering Culture: A Mass Q Ball 2025: Color Event Prelude

Join dancer/choreographer Mar Parilla, percussionist Cornell Coley, and interdisciplinary artist Ifé Franklin in a conversation rooted in culture, intentional place making, and the beautiful connections that arise when both are centered. Moderated by Castle of our Skins' Artistic Director Ashleigh Gordon, this discussion is a prelude to the MassQ Ball 2025: Color event in which all three artists will be showcased.

The MassQ Ball - a large-scale celebration of ritual, performance, and cross-cultural arts, featuring the diverse artistry of Boston's communities of color - will take place at The Arnold Arboretum on Saturday, October 4th from 10-4pm. Free and family-friendly, this event will weave together art, movement, dance and spoken word with ritual, nature, and the joy found in creative expression and cultural celebration.
