‘This building is a jewel’: Malonga Arts Collective sounds alarm on cultural hub falling into disrepair
The Malonga Casquelord Center for the Arts, a bustling six-story cultural hub on Alice Street since 1986, houses a vibrant mix of diverse artistic groups. On a recent Thursday afternoon, the Dimensions Dance Theater and Omulu Capoeira were in full swing with their classes. These two groups are part of the Malonga Arts Collective, a group of 10 nonprofit arts organizations in the building since 1996. The air was filled with the sounds of drumming and hip-hop and the energy of the dancers, a testament to the vibrant cultural scene that the Malonga fosters. On the first floor, the building’s theater, while ample, has seats from the 1920s that need cushions to make them comfortable. The theater also needs new theatrical lights and upgrades to the lighting grid. Other parts of the building, such as the ballet studios, haven’t been renovated since the 90s.
