The MotherLand Heritage & Unity Festival
is designed to connect single mothers to community resources and bring about unity in the community. The Motherland Festival plans on collaborating with various community organizations, up-and-coming writers, poets, rappers, neo-soul and true hip-hop artists to encourage them to develop a sense of cultural identity, through the art of written word and musical expression. This is going to be a wonderful experience. If you would like to be a part of The Motherland Festival please go to the contact page and e-mail or call Erika

THE AFRICAN MASK
To the Western world masks are the most commonly known art form of Africa. They can be admired for there aesthetic beauty and craftsmanship. Although the artistry of the African masks is evident, for the people who create them they have a meaning much deeper than surface beauty. African masks are danced to make a connection between the human and the spirit worlds, to convey ideas, and to reinforce social controls and religious beliefs. Masks are danced or performed at funerals, initiation ceremonies, reenactments of legends, and to ask a spirit's blessing for the prosperity and protection of an individual, family or community. Some of the spirits these masks evoke are represented in mask depicting women, royalty and animals.
