We have all been moving through a time of deep release, healing and transformation. This time has asked us to tap into what gives us freedom in the midst of devastation, what brings us joy in the process of change—what reminds us that as a people we are unbound—ready to use everything to thrive.
The Mumbo Connection explores the true heartbeat of D.C.'s culture through socially engaged art, gogo music, theatre, murals, and more. This community activation aims to bring the families of D.C. and the DMV together to celebrate native life, Black and brown liberation, create together, and experience art and stories from the community. This is freedom—the real D.C.—The Mumbo Connection.
Curated by #KenCenCultureCaucus members: Creative Nomads, Long Live Go Go, The Sanctuaries, and Voices Unbarred.
