Egúngún Síwájú: Elevation, Emergence and Empowerment

Presented in collaboration with Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute and THE FADARA GROUP

With Special Guest Curator Chief Ayanda Clarke, Ajíbílù Awo of Osogboland 

Egúngún Síwájú: Elevation, Emergence, and Empowerment is a healing celebration of ancestral African Diasporic masking traditions. Through music, song, and ritual performance, this program powerfully affirms “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe L’agbà,” signifying that traditional ways are the elder. The theme acknowledges the role Egúngún (ancestors) can play in propelling our community forward so that we emerge, post-pandemic, empowered and energized.
