"One storyteller is a book, but nuff a we is a movement. That's why there is a Ananse SoundSplash." (Amina Blackwood Meeks, Festival Founder and Artistic Director.)
HONOURING THE ANCESTORS
Ancestral Monument At Seville Heritage Park
The festival honours the standards for human development encoded in the stories passed on by our Ancestors who survived the most brutal episode in human history. Through our stories we give thanks to Queen Nanny, Cumfo Tacky, Daddy Sam Sharpe, Mwalimu Marcus Garvey and those whose names we do not know but whose spirit continues to inspire us.
