...the Institute connects scholars, artists, educators, and cultural leaders working to restore ancestral wisdom as a foundation for sustainable development and human flourishing.
By harnessing the power of publishing, film, and intercultural exchange, we support communities in reclaiming their narratives, advocating for their rights, and strengthening the cultural frameworks that underpin just and regenerative societies.
All of our resources, exhibitions, and learning opportunities are designed to ensuring that the wisdom of African heritage continues to inform the future of education, governance, and global wellness.
