About Us

Our Mission

Centre Issamba Québec's mission is to celebrate, preserve, and promote the richness of African and Afro-descendant cultures within Quebec society. We firmly believe that culture is a powerful vehicle for unity and social transformation.

Our actions aim to highlight African traditions through artistic, cultural, educational, and community initiatives. These include live performances, exhibitions, educational workshops, and dialogue spaces.

By valuing the heritage, knowledge, and expertise of African-heritage communities, we commit to increasing their visibility and providing them with a platform for expression.

Our efforts also include raising public awareness of the history and contributions of Afro-descendants, breaking stereotypes, and fostering a deeper understanding of cultural and historical realities.

Our programs and events serve as true intercultural bridges, promoting exchanges between different communities and encouraging greater mutual understanding.
