AEC’s Kinfolk Celebration to Combat Community Violence

Bring the entire family to the historic National Underground Railroad Freedom Center’s Kinfolk Celebration: Unified to Combat Community Violence presented by Arts Equity Collective on Sunday, November 15, 2026 @ 1:00 p.m.- 5:00 p.m. at 50 E Freedom Way, Cincinnati, OH 45202. Admission is FREE!! It is a transformative day dedicated to family, unity, and collective healing through arts-based programs that foster community -led conversations; features dynamic spoken word artists; kids dance team, Redefined Studios; old school and new school music by DJ April Reign; and interactive violence prevention games.
The Kinfolk Celebration is more than an event; it is a movement rooted in the belief that we are stronger together. This dynamic gathering centers mental wellness, community building, and social justice. Families of every race and culture are invited to come together in a shared commitment: to ensure that every voice is seen, heard, protected, and valued.
Through creative expression, meaningful dialogue, and powerful moments of connection, we will uplift one another and spark lasting impact. This is a space where art meets advocacy, where healing meets action, and where community becomes family. Bring your loved ones. Bring your neighbors. Bring your whole self. When kinfolk unite, we don’t just celebrate, we build legacies of justice, wellness, and belonging for generations to come.
