“Fire, Drum & Memory: Changó Through the CCCADI Archives”

On the eve of Changó’s feast day, we honor his fire and strength in our ongoing fight for social justice with a first-of-its-kind Changó Celebration at CCCADI Ilé Oyin. 

As part of our Afro-Picks film & conversation series, we will feature a special screening of archival Changó celebrations across CCCADI’s 50 year history.  The screening will be accompanied by a panel conversation featuring esteemed practitioners representing a variety of sacred traditions.

As we all know, a celebration of Changó wouldn’t be complete without the drum!  We will be joined by Melvis Santa & Ashedí for a musical performance in honor of the owner of the drum.  

We encourage you to wear white & red and to bring an offering for our Changó community altar.
