In response to TheGallery’s 2017 exhibition, 'Black Mirror: Magic in Art' staff and students from the Arts University Bournemouth performed their interpretation of the Palo Mayombe ritual dance that originated in Cuba. The performance was part of 'The Ancient Art of Rituals' event held on 18 January 2018 and has been adapted into an art film showing behind the scenes with the curators and dancers.
