MATATU
A member of Intersection for the Arts
MATATU was founded as a cultural experience vehicle in 2013. Mimicking rural share taxis as a mode of publicly accessible transportation, our programs shuttle local communities and global diasporas from one arthouse experience to the next. The platform engages in a public inquiry around the role of the African Diaspora in a contemporary urban American context, asking, “How does an Afro-Future actually materialize without some intentional framing by creative citizens from around the Diaspora,” and “Where are the occasions to envision strategies for health in post-colonial Black culture?”
