Thu 12/19-Sun 12/22 @ 7:30PM
Founded in 2009 by artistic director Talise Campbell, Cleveland’s Djapo Cultural Arts Institute is dedicated to preserving, promoting and teaching African diasporic arts and culture through performances, residencies and workshops, teaching dance, music, drumming and folklore. In addition to their own Juneteenth African Dance & Drum Festival, they perform at other major events such as Station Hope and the Juneteenth FreedomFest downtown.
They will also be hosting the third and final weekend of Cleveland Public Theatre’s special holiday programming with The Light of Kinara: A Kwanzaa Celebration. They tell us the performance, which includes music, dance and spoke word, is “more than a celebration of Kwanzaa—it is a powerful reminder of the enduring light within us all, a light that shines brightest when we come together as a community, honoring our heritage and illuminating a future grounded in shared values.”
