Using art and activism as conduits, we are creating spaces of re-imagining and reclaiming the power of realizing what is possible when we, as a collective, come together to transform the landscape of communities who continue to experience the very real, tangible impacts of displacement and cultural erasure.

This work started decades before Wa Na Wari was ever an organization and evolved into what many experience within its walls on a daily basis.

There isn’t a single thing we’ve accomplished in the past five years that we could have done without you. All the dreams we’ve realized, we realized together, with you. The next five years promise to be even more exciting. Help us start the next leg of our journey. Donate today.

Wa Na Wari was, is and - with proper, sustained support - always will be home to creatives, artists, abolitionists, activists, dreamers and visionaries who hold sacred the ideal that belonging is the cornerstone of a flourishing and thriving community and society.

Over the years, many have supported our ability to realize this fundamental truth through gallery exhibitions, community events, and curated programming designed to empower and situate the Black imagination in its rightful place.

At Wa Na Wari, we are cultivating spaces that nurture imagination and uproot the impossible one creative possibility at a time.
