Drawing on the philosophy of wabi-sabi and the ancient African tradition of Sankofa,  we will celebrate the cycle of breakage and repair as a natural part of our personal  history and growth. Sankofa teaches us to look back at our past experiences, to  understand our roots and to bring forward the wisdom and knowledge gained. 

Similarly, wabi-sabi emphasizes the beauty in the impermanence of things,  encouraging us to accept change and embrace the beauty in the imperfect. 

We will reimagine the practice of kintsugi, a traditional Japanese art of  repairing broken pottery with gold, to demonstrate the power of healing and  restoration. In Black culture, we have a similar concept called “make a way out of no  way,” which is the idea of finding solutions in difficult situations and transforming  adversity into triumph.
