Àkójọpọ X Gorée Cuisine Presents: The Games Of Our Heritage

Join us to immerse yourself in the rich traditions of Pan-African culture. This community gathering centers around Mancala, an ancient African strategy game that has served for generations as a symbol of connection, strategy, and patience.

This is a sliding scale, donation-based event—give what you can, and any amount you contribute goes directly toward supporting Àkójọpọ̀'s 2026 programming, fostering Pan-African arts and culture worldwide. Games are free to attend and play. Delicious Senegalese food will also be available for purchase on-site if you'd like a bite while you play.
