ABOUT
Join us as we celebrate the connection between culture and the sky, through storytelling, music, dance, and poetry, we'll explore the wisdom of indigenous knowledge in astronomy. The event is more than just a celebration; it’s a journey of discovery and connection. As we come together beneath the vast African skies, we honour our shared humanity and the profound bond we hold with the cosmos. Each story shared, and each dance performed is a testament to the enduring spirit of our collective heritage.
This evening is a celebration of unity, of the threads that bind us as one human family. Join us under the African skies as we embrace the wisdom of our ancestors and chart a course toward a brighter, more connected future.
