Culture is Our Weapon

Culture is the fabric that threads our daily lives together.

It is created and preserved through our collective work and ability to overcome the challenges we face as neighbors, comrades, family, and friends.

Culture is a weapon because it is the vessel that translates the state of our humanity across time. We have inherited a culture of resistance and survival.

Our duty is to carry on those traditions, and to integrate new ones – prioritizing the collective over the individual in the fight for our human rights.

“Culture is simultaneously the fruit of a people’s history and a determinant of history.” — Amilcar Cabral
