About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

At Jamii, Tuesdays are dedicated to immersive learning experiences. Join our monthly Culture Cloths talks and learn about the historical and cultural significance of these cloths.

In April's Culture Cloths, we are exploring the theme of pan-africanism through cloths. The textiles of North, East, West Africa, Central, and South Africa showcase the rich diversity and cultural heritage of the continent, serving as symbols of identity, tradition, and creativity for generations. Join us as we celebrate the enduring legacy of African heritage and honor its deep contributions to the fabric of humanity. Caroline Leite will facilitate a conversation with Waleed Abdulhamid, exploring this exhibit by Sabrine S Hakam. We have a special treat at this session - an Eritrean coffee ceremony presented by community member Mariam Afandy.
