https://www.facebook.com/events/865548960475661/The popularization of African style, culture, music, and dance have inspired conversations about the balance of appreciating culture, profiting from culture, sharing arts, and appropriation. Join members of Wontanara, a local African dance troupe, community members, and fellow students as they share experiences and carefully explore these cultural dynamics, addressing cultural appropriation vs. appreciation.
