* All proceeds from the Ayibobo! Creative Symposium will be donated to hurricane relief efforts in Haiti. *
$15 tickets or pay what you can.
Ayibobo! is a Haitian colloquialism spoken in joy to exclaim glory or hallelujah! After three evenings of arthouse music, film & performance the MATATU Festival of Stories leads its closing day festivities with an afternoon of great music, new connections, and thoughtful conversation led by some of the world’s leading Afrofurists, Creators and Spiritual Practitioners. We’d rather not call it a conference; think of it more like a symposium – dj’s play a day social kinda thing downstairs over drinks, while critical thinkers and producers share tools of the trade they’ve picked up somewhere in their travels. Tell some friends, bring yourself, but bring a notepad – too.
It’s happening in Oakland on the afternoon of Saturday, October 15 at Starline Social Club. #Ayibobo! Tickets are $15 – or pay what you can, it's cool! Just hop on! This is about you picking up something along the road, and taking it with you on your journey.
