She Flew is a performance project within the Dreams of Flight series created by Nia-Amina Minor. Performed by Akoiya Harris, Michele Dooley and Nia-Amina Minor, She Flew explores the internal landscape of collective dreams of flight. From the historic presence of flight in spiritual and gospel music to the movement of Black people during the Great Migration, the piece is influenced by the ancestral embodiment of flight within the Black community.

In She Flew, three figures, adorned in and surrounded by clouds, will interact with the objects-on-view. In the piece, flight becomes a site of possibility, a secret language, and a paradox as we consider those who could fly without ever leaving the ground.
