“Cool­ness or gen­tle­ness of char­ac­ter is so ipor­tant in our lives. Cool­ness is the cor­rect way you rep­re­sent your­self to a human being.”–J.K. Adejumo

TRIAAC is a con­scious com­mu­nity; and extended fam­ily inter­ested in grow­ing iden­tity that rec­og­nizes its expe­ri­ence as the essen­tial ingre­di­ent need to grow its col­lec­tive human­ity. It is the dri­ving force of its com­mu­nity relationships.

Nation­al­ity in a global uni­verse is an out­dated trope. Artists with a global con­scious­ness are con­tin­u­ing the strug­gle of Afrikan peo­ple to make human a world made inhu­man by indi­vid­ual avarice and nation­al­is­tic bloodlust. 

 TRIAAC peo­ple are of many faiths, from many parts of the world but with one orga­niz­ing prin­ci­ple: fam­ily is at the root of com­mu­nity and build­ing rela­tion­ships is our pri­mary art. Our art is a cre­ative process that mir­rors life, and it must be engaged, expe­ri­enced, and exploited to the col­lec­tive good of Afrikan people.

We have taken the time and raised the resources from within our com­mu­nity to sojourn to Guinea and Sene­gal to unlock our men­tal frame of ref­er­ence from the West­ern pro­pa­ganda about our peo­ple and our con­di­tion. On the con­ti­nent we have found strong per­son­al­i­ties wrapped in fam­i­lies intact and vig­or­ously pur­su­ing lives shaped from fam­ily rela­tions. We have found world­views dif­fer­ent from our own. We have found our­selves and plot­ted a way back to our right minds.

Together we are a com­mu­nity of inter­est that shares a love for music, move­ment, and wise words that tran­scend the bound­aries of race, gen­der, cul­ture and class and lead to action that enhances our col­lec­tive human identity.
