ARISE PRESENTS: KWANZAA CELEBRATION 2022 - AFRIKA IS RISING- Embracing our culture, values, spirituality and traditions as instruments for liberation. We in ARISE are pleased to invite you to come together as a community and celebrate Kwanzaa 2022.
This year’s Kwanzaa will be held on Saturday the 3rd of December from 1pm until 8.30pm, starting with the children's program then followed by the main program from 3pm. Our partners at The Nordic Black Theatre have opened their doors once again for us to celebrate together as they have graciously done for the past few years.
This year's theme is - AFRIKA IS RISING- Embracing our culture, values, spirituality and traditions as instruments for liberation.
We hope that you can join us in this celebration.
KWANZAA is a Pan-Afrikan cultural celebration based on indigenous First Fruits/Harvest. The festivals observed since ancient times all over Afrika are known by different names across the regions of the continent.
Kwanzaa observed 26 December to 1 January and its foundation is expressed through seven principles, the “Nguzo Saba” (faith, self-determination, collective work and responsibility,
cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith).
As members of a diverse Afrikan community living in Norway we realize that we don’t make enough effort to unify across national, religious, language and ethnic divisions. Kwanzaa
affords us an opportunity to unite, remind us what we must do to empower our community and motivates us to work towards a better future for Afrikans at home and abroad.
Note: This is a family friendly event and EVERYONE is welcome.
We encourage all our guests to bring a special dish from their country to share with the community. We in ARISE will also offer some food. Please note that it’s not allowed to bring drinks into the venue.
Date/time: Saturday 3rd of December from 1:00pm (childrens program).
Main program starts at 16.00pm.
Venue: Nordic Black Theatre & Cafeteatret
