The soul of the institute

Sankofa

Organic com­mu­nity arts development

Dri­ven by cul­tural integrity and cre­ative pro­lif­er­a­tion, to make that ground fer­tile, TRIAAC EnVi­sions an insti­tute estab­lished to enrich the cul­tural life of Afrikan peo­ple, and the com­mu­ni­ties in which they reside and that sup­port them.

Organic orga­ni­za­tion and rec­i­p­ro­cal action have pro­duced a syn­cretism of cul­tural arts, col­lec­tive ini­tia­tives, artist-directed projects, and global events that inspire a cross-cultural com­mu­nity of youth and adults who will con­tinue to  explore the expanse of cre­ativ­ity latent in fam­ily exten­sion and the nur­tur­ing of rela­tion­ships that ben­e­fit Afrikan peo­ple and their supporters.

TRIAAC’s Mis­sion is to study, pro­mote, pre­serve, prop­a­gate, and present the music, dance and spo­ken word of Afrika and the Dias­pora that addresses col­lec­tive cul­tural iden­tity in its design, man­age­ment, stag­ing, and pro­mo­tion. TRIAAC’s core objec­tive is to develop indi­vid­u­als to an appre­ci­a­tion of arts-based com­mu­nity devel­op­ment rooted in the social, cul­tural, and aes­thetic val­ues of Afrikan peo­ple. Within that mis­sion, we are com­mit­ted to edu­cat­ing and engag­ing peo­ple from all walks of life in the power of the drum and dance, spo­ken word and song, and the move­ment they inspire to raise community.
