Come & experience what emerges when Black artists from Baltimore City blend their arts practices with the rich Black arts of Bahia, Brasil. The shared roots of the African Diaspora will be shaking beneath our dancing feet!

This is the kickoff event for A GENTE is an artist residency in Baltimore and Bahia that is all about artistic co-creation, inner healing through faith & love, and social imagination. Blending a capoeira roda in the street out front of the Creative Alliance with Black Assets’s vocals and TWZ’s live painting (just to name two of the many artists featured), our artists will have you moved.

You will have the chance to take part in sending these Baltimore artists to Bahia, Brasil in November 2024 by donating or bidding in an art auction featuring artists from across the diaspora. We can’t wait to see you there!

Partners: Creative Alliance, and H.O.P.E. Missions. Axé /ase!
