Watch Tåno’/ Land

Overview

Tåno’ is a short dance film on location in the north-western Pacific island of Guåhan/Guam that belongs to the archipelago known as the Mariana Islands in a region known as Micronesia. Featuring the work of dancer anthropologist Ojeya Cruz Banks, who was born in California but her maternal ancestors are indigenous to the island. Visually illuminating the synergy between land and biography, her dancing embodies a somatic ritual informed by indigenous cosmology that views earth as sacred and where ancestral bones are buried.
