The Taratibu Youth Association’s Kujichagulia - Afrofuturism!

  • Joe's Movement Emporium 3309 Bunker Hill Road Mount Rainier, MD, 20712 United States (map)

Afrofuturism evolved as an expressive outlet and platform to understand and interpret the history of race and African/Black cultural identity.  This show draws from the past and present using Kujichagulia- Self Determination, as a lens to acknowledge and honor some of our cultural norms from African and African American history.  

We tell the stories of an African young woman’s Rite of Passage, while honoring the contributions of her life; we honor our Babas through a prayer sung in Xhosa and the South African Gumboot as well as other stories that give a window to our place on this planet now and in the future.
