Les Sapeurs

Referencing the environment and culture that molded them, this body of work highlights the importance of expressing yourself through dance and creativity; something that has allowed renowned movement artists, Kurtis ‘Kurtyswift’ Agyekem (@kurtyswift) and George ‘Unkle TC’ Duker (@unkle.tc) to break out their environment and ultimately inspire a generation of movers in their community and beyond.
