MAS Conversations for More Pride: This year we arrive at Series No. 7 of this program with three conversations:Marooning education, Marooning the political, and Marooning the street; In these three conversations we saw the expansion capacity of young people from different regions of the diaspora, activating from the awareness of their ancestry. We knew that they were very clear about the reasons why they live, act, organize, think and work in their communities and in their territories. It was easy then to hear them say clearly:We know what we want. We are young Afrolegates.
Connecting MAS / Youth Program This year was our first in-person program after our online pilot. With a total of 16 young people who joined this journey of exploring their identity and history through the arts. During the journey they developed art pieces, photographic self-portraits and group interviews with artists who promote Afro-diasporic arts. On April 29, 2023, we culminated the program with a celebration, where the young people shared what they had learned and created with the community.Video 2023 of the Connecting Us MORE program youths.
