Anti-Racism Through the Arts
We host performances, panel discussions, and creative workshops that directly address systemic racism, amplify Black voices, and spark community dialogue. Recent projects include the African-Indigenous Cultural Picnic and anti-racism performance showcases, where art becoms a platform for social change.
African-Indigenous Cultural Exchange
Through storytelling circles, collaborative performances, and hands-on workshops, we bring African and Indigenous communities together to explore shared histories of resilience and survival.
Most recently, we hosted the African-Indigenous Cultural Picnic, a two-day celebration supported by the City of Edmonton and local community partners, AND the AFRO & INDIGENOUS CULTURAL FESTIVAL 2026, a two-day festival supported by the Foundation for Black Communities, the City of Edmonton and the Government of Canada. These events featured drumming, dance, storytelling, and food traditions, creating space for cultural learning, dialogue, and solidarity.
Healing Through Culture
Our workshops and events use music, dance, food traditions, and storytelling as tools for community healing. By addressing intergenerational trauma rooted in racism and displacement, these cultural gatherings promote well-being and collective resilience.
Cultural Education & Community Engagement
We host public events and festivals that celebrate African and Indigenous Heritage and make it visible to wider audiences. By showcasing the richness of African and Indigenous arts and traditions, we challenge stereotypes, promote intercultural understanding, and strengthen community bonds. These events serve as both education and preservation, ensuring that African and Indigenous traditions remain vibrant and accessible in contemporary Canadian society.
