 EXPERIENCE SANKOFA PROJECT -
PERMENENTLY CLOSED DUE TO FLOODING at EASTMONT

ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE SANKOFA PROJECT - 
What began in 2008 as a small altar of African history has grown to a 3000 sq foot immersive experience that bring history to life- literally. 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, slavery, migration, solidarity and radical imagination as a necessary tool for  racial healing. 

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.

EXPERIENCE SANKOFA PROJECT GOES VIRTUAL FOR SCHOOLS BUSINESSESS & ORGANIZATIONS
Spearitwurx will offer the exclusive opportunity to engage with the Experience Sankofa Project Virtual Offering. Each 75-90 minute session will include age-appropriate conversations and reflection opportunities with trained facilitators. The Experience Sankofa Project is best suited for students in middle and high school (6th grade and up) as well as groups of 10 or more.

Our general flow is as follows:
1. Pre-Work and Centering: Spearitwurx facilitates a discussions to understand context, causes, and characters that are important to African History. This includes an overview of the historical content shared in the film, guidance on how to engage while viewing the film, and mindfulness cues to support emotional regulation.

2. Viewing of the Film “Ancestors Walk with Me” Virtual offering of the ESP: A 15 minute Point-of View “walkthrough” of the Living Museum in which participants can fully observe the experiential reenactments, artifacts, and nuances to each period-specific installation.

3. Facilitated Debrief Conversation: These discussions are designed to both understand the history, context, causes and characters within the ESP, as well as support emotional processing. As a part of the racial healing process, participants can give voice to their vision: “What does the African/Black /Humanity’s future look like?” as a conclusion to their experience.

This digital product can be utilized repeatedly as a facilitated experience for public, private and community-based organizations that helps to:
• Create safe space for personal transformation and reflection on race and class
• Develop collective empathy and awareness of the African Experience in America
• Build an understanding of what equity, diversity and inclusion means within our organizations
