CCCADI‘s programs and activities revolve around any and all forms of arts, culture, education and media that have the ability to address cultural equity, racial and social justice as applied particularly to people of African descent.
The Center’s efforts can be defined as four broad categories: Expressions, Learning, Spirituality and Exchange. The Integral Plants & Herbs in Afro-Cuban Religion: Orisha & Palo Traditions, exemplifies our themes of Learning and Spirituality.
Learning with the Center is the promotion of a life-long pursuit of knowledge and culture through instructional arts programs based in traditional and contemporary African Diaspora art forms designed for all age groups. SPIRITUALITY – In recognition of the role that spirituality plays in the cultures of African people and their descendants, CCCADI respectfully weaves these spiritual elements into the fabric of its programming.
The Center presents much of its spiritually-based activities in collaboration with traditional spiritual leaders, practitioners, cultural activists, and artists that retell and pass on the stories and practices that bind African descendants into one holistic family building resilience today and into the future.
