About this Work

Stilt walkers in Dominica, locally known as Bwa Bwa, trace their origins directly to the transatlantic slave trade and West African ancestral traditions. In these cultures, stilt dancers represented deities or spirits, serving as guardians and wise figures who watched over the community from above.
