WHAT
WE DO
Arts & Culture programming.
Our goal is to showcase Yorùbá-centric arts programming online and transitions us to incorporate linguistics, fashion, design, music, folklore, and streaming performances. We produce workshops and interactive demonstrations centered on Yorùbá culture open to the public and accessible online. We use art, folklore, and cultural values to create immersive experiences that highlight especially our Yorùbá culture. Our projects foster artistic behaviors for creative expression to achieve excellence in our community while exploring how art can provide pathways toward the advancement of BIPOC.

In addition to the examples of our past activities listed in our proposal, we have a list of activities that we have done regularly and were open to the public in the past, including:
