AWỌ’s HUEmanity Salon Series are public education events that promote community conversations and different perspectives from black, indigenous, ethnic, urban, and rural artists and speakers, who come from diverse backgrounds and use their life experiences to inspire, empower and model how to break down barriers and bring healing to local communities.

In partnership with the Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce, on Saturday, July 16, 2022, our inaugural Drums in the Park salon took over Town Plaza Park in Los Gatos. We featured artists, speakers and storytellers from around the Bay Area.

One way we seek to renew and reweave our social fabric is through the power of rhythms, histories and traditions by showcasing drums that trace their histories to Nigeria, West Africa, the Middle East and Southern Asia.
