Meant to honor Sundiata’s work and his legacy of marrying activism and art, the retrospective includes dialogues, performances and restaging of such work as “The Circle Unbroken Is a Hard Bop,’’ from 1992, and his final work “the 51st (dream) state,” from 2006. That last work presented a mosaic of poetry, music, dance and videotaped interviews that explores what it means to be an American after 9/11.
