Why Our Village
ADAMA’s mission is rooted in the desire to fill an institutional gap by establishing a museum for contemporary art by people of African descent. We are creating space to amplify Black artists and cultivate space to tell authentically African diasporic stories. We're looking forward to building our home village in ATL and a being member helps us get one step closer to realizing that ultimate goal!
Joining our village is an act of service. A philanthropic gesture for an organization and cause that you believe in and believe is important. Ubuntu means, I am because you are, beyond your act of service, contributing to ADAMA’s mission fulfills the need we have to each other. We are a village, and we are deeply connected. The seeds you are helping to sow will serve generations to come.
Here is an opportunity to make something lives long after we leave this earth and serves generations of African diaspora peoples.
WHO WE ARE
ADAMA’S CORE PILLARS
/ 01
EXPERIENCES
We refer to our programming as experiences. Far from a traditional program or event, we are dedicated to curating experiences that are dynamic, sensory-rich, and immersive global representations that are unapologetically centered around the Black experience and expression.
/ 02
CONNECTION
We serve to intentionally deepen Black people's sense of connection to themselves and the greater diaspora through the lens of contemporary art and culture. This sense of belonging is embodied in tangible and intangible ways. Connection is our why and our how; as we seek it, it seeks us in return.
/ 03
LEARNING
Our educational components are referred to as learning in lieu of the word education which traditionally has an authoritative and patriarchal connotation that isn’t representative of who we are. We cultivate shared learning environments for all to take part in. We want to learn, share, and grow alongside our fellow villagers across the African Diaspora.
/ 04
AMPLIFICATION
Amplification of inclusive, positive Black experiences are the result of all our efforts combined. What we seek to measure as a collective is felt, observed, witnessed, and sometimes calculated. We intend to measure the quantitative and qualitative impact of our multi-sensory experiences, shared learning, and points of connection acquired.
