FROM AFRICA TO 808'S

Join us for an immersive art exhibition that unveils the captivating journey of artist, educator, and visionary Bamba Al Mansour as he brings to life his groundbreaking project, FROM AFRICA TO 808's. A lifetime journey spanning three continents, chronicling the close relationship between Pan-African thought, art, spirituality, and activism.

This exhibition offers an exclusive first look at the story behind the upcoming From Africa To 808’s curriculum and documentary, connecting Hip Hop’s roots and culture to its African origins.

Seize the opportunity to learn about the F.A.T.E. (From Africa To 808’s) Masterclass, which is an integral part of The Black Diaspora Institute, an initiative founded by Bamba to facilitate contemporary education for diaspora youth throughout the world.

We’re excited to invite you, our community, to the exhibition opening of From Africa To 808’s.
