Wazobia Arts

Wazobia arts offers interactive- artistic collaborations, facilitates cultural awareness, and celebrates diversity. Lead by Artistic director Sunny Eselekhomhen. Wazobia brings together people of all ages and ethnicities to bring awareness through educational programs that reflect rich West African culture. This includes, but is not limited to : art, batik-making, rhythmic music, drum- making, school programs, traditional dye, gourd work, poetry workshops , painting, participatory dance, ceramics, traditional food/ medicines, recycled repurposed artwork. 

In addition to the interactive elements, Wazobia is focused on building Global Outreach, and supports West African immigrants. Since 2016, WaZoBia Arts has worked with local schools in Sacramento to provide cultural arts programs to students. In addition, we connect students from Nigeria, to those in Sacramento. Students build portable solar charging stations, school supply and hygiene kits, write letters, for students in Ewatto, Nigeria. We feel it is important to empower students to become stewards of the planet, and take action, to help others. We are currently working with three schools in Sacramento City Unified School District on a PBL project, "A Well for Ewatto", that will bring water to the students of Ewatto primary.
