WHO WE ARE?

A space for the integration and development of urban arts. The Griot Collective is a community initiative born in July of 2005, where a group of artists of varied disciplines unified in a joint effort to create positive change in our communities and society at large.
"Arte de la Calle" (art for the streets) is a community initiative where a group of artist, both emerging and of ample background, donate their time and efforts to it's development. by creating community programs and workshops, and coordinating a masive festival every year where all artists can share ideas and cooperate in the spirit of infusing consciousness into our environment

Griots: Arte de la Calle, Arte con Conciencia (Art from the Street, Art with Continence) is a project that seeks to create the integration, inclusion and development of urban arts and the diverse modern manifestations of community arts, encouraging ideas of community pride and identity and the focus on respo0nsability through and the interest in our society and community. This is also a space of exchange for local and international artist, so we open an invitation to all who wish to join us in our events and activities.

Influences: OUR LOGO

The central image in the Griot Collective's logo is a symbolic figure. Sankofa comes from the Adinkra, a system of symbols of the Akan (people that live between Cotê d'Ivoire and Ghana). Sankofa literally means "go back and fetch it". Its figure represent the mythical bird of the same name, that flies with it's head looking backwards. Sankofa is a call to return to our cultural roots.
