Leanna Browne presents Kuumba: A Gathering of Black Dance and Theatre. Kuumba is a Kiswahili word, which means “creativity” or “to create” and is the sixth principle of Kwanzaa. She is joined by a guest artist to be announced who will share their work. Leanna Browne will premiere a new dance work, which explores Pan-Africanism, particularly the contributions of Black women in Pan-Africanism, the significance of Pan-Africanism, and how we can put the values of Pan-Africanism into practice.
