Sankofa had a stall at the Emerge Festival (Sundy 21 June 2009).

The Emerge Festival is presented and produced by Multicultural Arts Victoria during Refugee Week and is a celebration Victoria's diverse refugee and emerging cultures - it was a day filled with music, exotic food, dance, visual arts, ceremonies and a vibrant multi-cultural market place.

The marketplace was in the Fitzroy Town Hall with the African stage .... so we had a day of African beats, drumming, and dancing ... there were acts from Guinea, Sierra Leone, Burundi, the Congo and Ethiopia ... lots of fun for everyone.

If you missed the Emerge Festival this year .... remember to keep an eye out for it next year .... you'll be pleased you did!
