About the Exhibit

The Kuumba III Exhibit is a celebration  of Kwanzaa's sixth Principle Kuumba,Swahili for Creativity

"Kuumba is the commitment to being creative within the context of the national community vocation of restoring our people to their traditional greatness and thus leaving our community more beneficial and beautiful than we inherited it. The principle has both a social and spiritual dimension and is deeply rooted in social and sacred teachings of African societies."


The artists and art selected for the
Kuumba III Exhibit fulfill the commitment to the Kuumba Principle.
