  • About This Program

    Ujima, also known as collective work and responsibility, is the third of seven days in the Kwanzaa yearly tradition. Ujima means that we share our struggles and duties as a community. This month's Wednesday Night Live is inspired by Ujima. We'll celebrate the general themes of Kwanzaa (community, unity, faith, creativity, and heritage), specifically reflecting on how we can further uplift and support each other. Dance and play with Drums 4 Life, learn the specifics of Kwanzaa traditions with Kwanzaa Charlotte, and collectively create with Kimberly Turner, owner of Elizabeth In Pearls (@elizabethinpearls).

    During the celebration, take time to see our three exhibitions on view. Learn more about our exhibitions here.

    This experience is free and open to community members of all ages. Please keep in mind that our experiences during Wednesday Night Live are open to everyone until each program's capacity is reached. To ensure equal access, we will welcome guests on a first-come, first-served basis.
