The Weusi Collective

The Weusi Collective is a group of African-centered artists and educators dedicated to promoting and preserving African heritage through cultural expression. Founded in the 1960s in Brooklyn, New York, their aim is to celebrate African history, traditions, and artistry via visual arts, performances, and education. They seek to empower Black communities by fostering pride and understanding of African roots. The collective's work emphasizes cultural authenticity and community engagement, serving as a platform for Black artists to share their heritage and challenge storytelling narratives that often overlook or misrepresent Africa and its Diaspora.
