Unmasked: Seaweed King is a dance performance depicting a sort of phoenix rising from the ashes, addressing human impact on the environment via Afro-Caribbean mas performance traditions. Seaweed King was first developed in 2016 in collaboration with Laura Anderson Barbata for a transdisciplinary expedition project merging scientific, environmental, and artistic research around ocean conservation and climate change.
