Yemanja Arts Festival 2018

Yemanja Arts Festival 2017

 BrasArte presents this unique two-night performing arts festival celebrating the spirit of Yemanjá, the African deity that honors the essential, beautiful and sometimes-dangerous nature of water. Inspired by the original Yemanjá Festival celebrated in Bahia, Brazil, the Yemanjá Arts Festival will bring together celebrated artists and dancers from across the Bay Area and Los Angeles, interpreters of traditional and modern art forms from the African diaspora (Brazil, the Caribbean, and the United States) that pay homage to Yemanjá/Iemanjá/Yemoja/Yemayá through their respective folkloric and spiritual traditions.

Made possible in part by: Alliance for California Traditional Arts, Lakeshore Foundation & Berkeley Civic Arts
