Fifteen years ago, Founder Kara Mack, made a strategic and radical decision to focus on music and dance styles from the African Diaspora after years of classical training in both respective fields. As she began to practice these different art forms she recognized that in society these styles are seen as electives and hobbies artistically that in turn force them to fall short of being respected as technical styles. She wanted to change this reality and decided to create the brand, Africa in America®. Through her life's work, Kara is determined to change the direction and rewrite the narrative that like other techniques, African Diasporic styles of music/dance need to be respected as well here in America. Kara utilizes a language, vocabulary, and rhetoric that is relatable in order to bring back a sense of visibility that will cultivate well-rounded artists capable of succeeding through any artistic expression they choose.
Africa in America® represents as a primary resource for both professional African dance, music-based artists and art participants who are interested in the growing culture here in America. These styles include the arts from North and South America, the Caribbean, West, Central, and Southern Africa. Since African-based arts have held a huge part in social justice both in America and the Diaspora, Africa in America® also is committed to continue this path by keeping our audience aware when it comes to community and organization building, grant and work opportunities, and many other ways that may inspire art locally and nationally.
IN OUR FINAL STAGE, THIS FESTIVAL WILL BE THE FIRST OF ITS KIND!
