Fiesta del Plátano

The memory of our history

La Fiesta del Plátano is a route through the history and memory of Africa, our universal mother. It is a pedagogical strategy that, through our connection with the plantain, seeks to recognize, strengthen and make visible the historical memory, the cultural and natural diversity of the ethnic, Black, Raizal and Palenquero people; promoting and sharing their ancestral knowledge and their territorial spaces.

.


This pedagogical strategy is proposed biennially (every two years) starting in September 2021 with workshops, urambas and preparatory talks; and later we will carry out events every Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the month of October in 5 territories of Colombia:

This first year will be held internally in Colombia with national and international broadcasts, and in subsequent versions will be integrated into various cultures of the world. Soon we will publish the detailed schedule and agenda.



A space to share ancestral knowledge from different regions of Colombia where the plantain is the common thread of these events. From each collective territorial experience we want to give the necessary strength to the communities to allow us to dream and return to autonomy and sovereignty.


The Plantain was chosen as the articulating axis due to its importance and impact on the history of the African diaspora, gastronomy, ancestral medicine and as a raw material in various countries of the world and its articulation with Africa.
