In this film, Ingrid Silva—ballerina, activist and new mother—talks with Kim Barke about growing up in Brazil, her unlikely entry into the world of professional ballet, confronting the challenges of being a Black ballerina in a predominantly White space, becoming a new mom in turbulent times, and turning to activism and advocacy. She then breaks into dance—mere months after having given birth to her daughter—in a performance that made us all *gasp* on set. Produced by The Bloc, I had opportunity to direct and co-produce this film, along with my partner-in-crime at Bricolagista, Monihan Monihan.  MAKING SPACE premiered at Cannes Lions in June 2021.
