What We Offer
SANKOFA
Sankofa is a global creative ecosystem built to support artists, veterans, storytellers, and culture‑bearers across multiple disciplines.
Rooted in the West African principle of returning to reclaim what was forgotten, Sankofa provides spaces where creative practice, cultural memory, and personal narrative can evolve in community.
Sankofa is not a single program
it is an interconnected network of creative pathways, including:
Art residencies
Creative incubators
Writers’ ciphers
Film and video initiatives
Virtual exhibitions and metaverse gallery spaces
Community workshops and cultural programming
Together, these components form a living creative ecosystem where participants can develop new work, explore identity, build global connections, and engage in practices that honor both personal and ancestral creativity.
B+ (Be Positive)
The B+ HIV Arts & Education Program is built around the message Be Positive (B+):
B+ about your health.
B+ about your legacy.
B+ about your future.
This program provides accessible HIV‑literacy education, creative wellness workshops, and stigma‑free community events.
Through art, storytelling, and culturally responsive health education, B+ helps participants stay informed, supported, and empowered.
COMMUNAL ECOSYSTEM
The Communal Ecosystem is a free, weekly gathering space purposed to connect with the land (and with each other).
Rooted in cultural wisdom and creative expression, our garden becomes a living classroom, a sanctuary, and a community circle all at once.
Through hands‑on gardening, art‑based workshops, and shared storytelling, participants grow food, grow skills, and grow a deeper sense of belonging. Every session nurtures wellness, creativity, and connection in a space designed for all ages and abilities.
What we offer:
Free gardening sessions that teach sustainable practices and food‑growing skills
Creative arts + cultural workshops inspired by ancestral traditions
Veteran‑centered healing spaces that honor service, resilience, and community care
Family‑friendly, intergenerational activities that strengthen bonds across ages
A welcoming outdoor hub for rest, reflection, and collective growth.
This is more than a community garden offering.
It’s a living ecosystem of healing, built by the community, for the community.
