Ifa Yoruba
The Ifa Yoruba Contemporary Arts Trust is a charitable trust committed to fostering the development of Yoruba arts and culture through a wide range of educational and arts activities and promoting an awareness of the impact of Yoruba people on the wider African Diaspora.
It is estimated that during the four centuries of the trans-atlantic movement, millions of Africans, especially Yoruba people made the voyage from their ancestral homeland into the New World of the Americas. Many Yorubas, sharing common language, culture and religious beliefs arrived in Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad and other parts of the Caribbean and South America.
The Trust intends to celebrate the contemporary Arts of the Yorubas and to extend its work to encompass cultural diversity and international perspectives in contemporary arts practise.
