Reclaiming Space for
​Black Art and Stories

Wa Na Wari is a home for Black art, stories, and connection in Seattle’s Central District,
​a gentrified space and one of Seattle’s historically redlined neighborhoods. 
Wa Na Wari means "Our Home" in Kalabari. Co-founder, Inye Wokoma, is Kalabari through his father's lineage. The name Wa Na Wari evokes a sense of purpose and intention to remain present in a place we consider home.

Wa Na Wari is located at 911 24th Ave,
​Seattle WA 98122
We are open Friday to Sunday,
11am to 5pm.
​We host events and workshops almost every weekend and install new art exhibits every 6 - 8 weeks.
