Mission:
Through the arts and humanities, Jah Kente International, Inc. improves the quality of life in the community with the discovery, creation, and dissemination of knowledge of human experience, thought-provoking nature of the arts and expressions that cultivate intellectual breadth, foster ethical reasoning and understanding, build communities, embrace diversity, and inspire the preservation of the much less understood and underappreciated African arts and culture.
Toward these ends, we prepare adaptable and visionary leaders who are equipped and capable of addressing the complexities of the human experience both locally and globally.
Vision:
From nurturing the cultural spirt of Africa in the Diaspora in the mid-nineties, the manifested drive and direction depict Jah Kente International’s sense of purpose as an ardent advocate of the arts not only through its obvious beauty and aesthetic appeal, but also as an economic engine through the creative industry.
All of these require the human family to continually reinvent itself in advancing arts and humanities with community consciousness through creative work and ideas that demonstrate the impact of the arts and creativity on society, as a catalyst for global understanding and collaboration, as a contributor to the debate within the humanities on issues with local and global significance, and also with an informed understanding of the African culture and its contributions to world civilization.
In exploring every aspect of human culture, from literature, philosophy, and religion, languages, architecture, dance to music, whether you want to start a business, devote your life to public service, practice law or medicine, or become an astronaut, a foundation in the arts and humanities gives you the insight and critical thinking skills to live an examined life of purpose, to express yourself with self-dignity, and to appreciate your role in, and relationship with, your local community and wider world.
As such, Jah Kente International invests in the vibrant cultural life of the nation’s capital and its metropolitan area and with persons of all persuasions. We value civic engagement on a broad range of topics, from historic to contemporary social movements, and from ancient texts to the digital dimensions of art and literature.
We believe that specialized and interdisciplinary knowledge of people and their cultures through a diverse and vigorous curriculum intended to develop skills required for life in the civil society and leadership in the inter-connected global society are critical today more than ever.
In effect, regardless of what your academic or professional goals may be, the arts and humanities provide a vital foundation from which to explore and understand our world. EXPLORE THE EXHILARATING MOMENTS WE ENVISIONED
