Dance of the Dougla - Fine Art Print

This bold and captivating artwork by Antionette Simmons Hodges is a celebration of movement, culture, and the artistry of dance. Inspired by a memorable performance by the Dance Theater of Harlem at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, the piece pays homage to the striking geometric robes designed by Geoffrey Holder for the Dougla dance. The vibrant patterns of circles in red, blue, and white against the dancers’ flowing black robes create a mesmerizing sense of rhythm and unity.

Set against a rich cobalt blue sky and a warm orange sun, the composition evokes the energy and grace of the performance while honoring the cultural heritage of the Dougla people—a blend of African and Indian ancestry. The dancers’ synchronized movements, captured in bold, clean lines, reflect the spirit of storytelling through dance and the beauty of cultural fusion.

This giclée fine art print, available on archival-quality paper, ensures the vibrancy of its colors and the precision of its geometric details endure for generations. Perfect for lovers of dance, culture, and vibrant art, Dance of the Dougla brings a sense of movement and celebration to any space.
