Who we are

TRIAAC

is a com­mu­nity of con­scious­ness; an extended fam­ily of inter­est; a grow­ing iden­tity that rec­og­nizes its expe­ri­ence as the essen­tial ingre­di­ent of its col­lec­tive human­ity; the dri­ving force of its com­mu­nity engage­ment and relationships.

Vision

TRIAAC

knows that the power of music, dance, song, and spo­ken­word requires that the peo­ple who are build­ing com­mu­nity dis­mem­ber the bar­ri­ers of race, class, gen­der, reli­gion, and pol­i­tics and engage their dif­fer­ences as extended family.
