Throughout our travels, we have learned that culture and family are the two clear determinants that create the cornerstone to a nation. The vitality of a community relies on the cohesion between culture and family, but how do families who have been stripped from their own culture via historical terrorism, heal from past atrocities without proper introduction to their cultural origins? A heavy question that is well deserving of not only an answer(s), but also much required solutions that work!
On this quantum leap year – during the last day of Black history month – join us for a profound experience and brief exploration into Nation Building–as we journey toward intellectual sovereignty and Cultural Coherency. Amen Ptah will perform his profound poem, REAFRIKANIZATION, followed by workshop, a joint lecture with his colleague, and brother, Shabaka Mu Ausar, and screening of Shabaka’s masterfully produced music video. This unique SYMPOEMSIUM is a blacknificent learning experience you do not want to miss!
