FICA DC has been one of the leading organizations that have been the center for educating and promoting Afro-Bahian culture in DC.
Currently, they are in jeopardy of being dislocated because of the financial uncertainty of the organization that hosts their space (Emergence Community Arts Collective).
If you want to support access to community arts programs and cultural programs that represent the Afro-Bahian community in DC (including Festival Afro-Bahia which Batala has always been a part of), please consider attending this fundraiser event next week, or making a small donation, and share with your friends.
