Modern African dance and traditional African music, an African marketplace, a mancala game station and craft making for families converge at the Penn Museum’s annual Celebration of African Cultures on Saturday, February 27, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Local griots and artists lead guests in an interactive exploration of traditions from across the African continent, set among the Museum’s collection of textiles, sculpture and masks in the Africa Gallery, as well as among statuary and tomb materials from 5,000 years of Egyptian culture in the Egyptian galleries. Egun Omode (Children of the Ancestors), a West African dance and drum and Yoruba-folklore performing arts collective, will offer a grande finale performance.
