Wednesday Night Live - Kwanzaa Celebration: Ujima

551 South Tryon Street,Charlotte NC 28202

28 December, 2022

Description

Ujima, also known as collective work and responsibility, is the third of 7 days in the Kwanzaa yearly tradition. Ujima means that we share our struggles and duties as a community. This month's Wednesday Night Live is inspired by Ujima. We will celebrate the general themes of Kwanzaa (community, unity, faith, creativity, and heritage), specifically reflecting on how we can further uplift and support each other. Dance and play with Drums 4 Life, learn the specifics of Kwanzaa traditions with Kwanzaa Charlotte, and collectively create with Kimberly Turner, owner of Elizabeth In Pearls (@elizabethinpearls on Instagram). During the celebration, take time to see our three exhibitions on view. This experience is free and open to community members of all ages. Please keep in mind that our experiences during Wednesday Night Live are open to everyone until each program's capacity is reached.
