Join us for a conversation with the creators of the New Cari.com in our last We Lit program of 2024!
We Lit is a CCCADI series dedicated to exploring authors of the African Diaspora who have beautifully woven their experiences, cultures, and dreams into their works. We Lit is where words come to life, and stories become a bridge that connects us all.
The final event of our 2024 We Lit season explores the inspiration and purpose behind the New Cari.com, a publication and agency focused on uplifting the stories of Caribbean creatives across the Diaspora. Founded in June 2022, New Cari.com has printed a collection of zines in the themes Culture + Community, Style, Art, and Taste.
Join us in conversation with the collective of creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs of Caribbean heritage who are currently working to preserve and promote Caribbean culture through New Cari.com: Article Ghetto Yutes founders City Skyline, Tassja Walker and AKCreative founder, Andrea K. Castillo. The talk will be moderated by Andrew E. Colarusso.
Multiple volumes of the New Cari zines will be available for purchase.
Registration info to follow.
After Hurricane Beryl, the CCCADI CROSSROADS program, anchored in the Caribbean, identified grassroots organizations responding to communities in need in St. Vincent and the Grenadines as they work to recover from storm damages: We Are Mayreau & The Hub Collective. We made a call to our community to support.
We continue to see the need for support from damaging storms in the Caribbean such as the latest to affect Puerto Rico and the U.S.V.I., Hurricane Ernesto and other climate crises caused and exacerbated by politics and colonialism. Our brothers and sisters in the Caribbean need your solidarity.
Donate to our Caribbean Cultural Workers Relief Fund reserved for responding to the relief and recovery needs of cultural workers facing crises in the Caribbean. Your donations will always go directly to individual cultural workers and/or grassroots-led organizations aligned with CCCADI values rooted in equity and justice.
