Fundraiser to Support Afro-Bahian Cultural Space in DC – Conexões Ancestrais: Celebrating Our Journey

FICA DC has been one of the leading organizations that have been the center for educating and promoting Afro-Bahian culture in DC.

Currently, they are in jeopardy of being dislocated because of the financial uncertainty of the organization that hosts their space (Emergence Community Arts Collective).

If you want to support access to community arts programs and cultural programs that represent the Afro-Bahian community in DC (including Festival Afro-Bahia which Batala has always been a part of), please consider attending this fundraiser event next week, or making a small donation, and share with your friends.

Mulheres de Axé

Mulheres de Axé (Women of Axé) is a short documentary–with English subtitles–about the Bahian women of Candomblé and their roles in leading the community, keeping their culture alive, and being at the forefront of the struggle against religious intolerance and discrimination from evangelicals. The video features many of the same women featured in another documentary called Cidade das Mulheres (City of Women) which goes deeper into the exploration of the topic of race and gender and reveals Afro-Bahian women as leaders, cultural sustainers, and the heart and soul of Salvador.

Also, check out the trailer for Cidade das Mulheres below.
