CREATE YOUR OWN SOUND USING YOUR OWN STORY

Join brothers Jarreau Vandal & Mondesir for an immersive music workshop as part of the House of Artistry summer series by Sankofa Archives. In this session, you’ll dive into beatmaking, vocal layering, and the art of building a track from scratch. Guided by two artists rooted in both craft and community, you’ll explore how sound can carry identity, memory, and emotion.

No prior experience needed just bring your curiosity and your story.

WHAT'S CULTURE?

TURNING PERSPECTIVE INTO ART

Join Jamal Jama, founder of the cultural platform What’s Culture, for a reflective and interactive workshop exploring the question: what does culture mean to you?

Through conversation, writing, and creative exercises, you’ll unpack both personal and collective definitions of culture from the traditions we inherit to the stories we shape ourselves.

This workshop invites you to think deeply, express freely, and connect with others through shared experiences and cultural memory.

Time: 19:00 - 21:30
