On this auspicious occasion, CENTRE FOR BLACK AND AFRICAN ARTS AND CIVILIZATION stands in celebration of the extraordinary African woman.
From generation to generation, women have been the heartbeat of our cultural preservation as storytellers, artisans, guardians of tradition, and champions of innovation. They carry the wisdom of our ancestors and at the same timw weave the threads of our future.

​At CBAAC, under the leadership of our Director General, Aisha Augie, we remain deeply committed to amplifying these voices. Through our exhibitions, cultural workshops, research & publications, and educational outreach, we actively showcase and document the pivotal role women play in keeping Black and African arts and civilization alive across the globe.

​As we move on the roadmap to OFFICIAL ACCOUNT FOR THE COMMEMORATION OF FESTAC '77 AT 50 , we reflect on the monumental legacy of FESTAC '77 and look ahead to a future filled with splendour. The strength, creativity, and unity of African women are central to this journey, and we are ensuring that the spirit of oneness and cultural pride shines brighter than ever.

"Diaspora engagement and cultural identity are deeply interconnected pillars of national development and global citizenship.

"Together, they create opportunities to preserve heritage, strengthen belonging, promote economic growth, and foster international understanding.

"Ultimately, the preservation of cultural identity and the meaningful engagement of diaspora communities contribute to a more inclusive, interconnected, and prosperous world—one where heritage serves not only as a link to the past but also as a pathway to shared progress and global cooperation."
