EXPERIENCE SANKOFA PROJECT - OPENS FEBRUARY 28 through JUNE 21
The EXPERIENCE SANKOFA PROJECT (ESP) Living Museum is an innovative installation exhibit that combines history, live performance art, and sacred altars into an interactive timeline of African and American history. Spearitwurx curated powerful and provocative period-specific “living installations” using lights, sounds, smells, and actors that evoke visceral emotions as an ode to African peoples’ greatness, oppression, resistance, and aspirations. Embedded in ESP are facilitated conversations about the impacts of capitalism and slavery as a necessary tool for racial healing and empathy. Celebrate Black History Month year-round! ESP is an innovative way to build human connection while highlighting the beauty and resiliency of Black people - from the African Continent to present-day Oakland.
