Pan-African Commons Resources

Pan-African Commons Programs

Arts

Arts events will acknowledge and resurface the diverse cultural activities, events, and movements in PSU’s Pan-African Community, and the local Pan-African Community. Through programming and managing art loans in PAC, we co-coordinate tools for self-care and healing, utilizing the therapeutic functions of art.

Sankofa

Meaning “go back and get it” in the Twi language of Ghana, these program’s events will explore holidays, independence, celebrations and more through recognizing the culture of Pan-African peoples.
