Bi-Okoto at OCAC – Images of Afrika Cultural Arts Camp

Program description

Images of Afrika is an arts and culture summer camp focusing on Nigeria, Ghana, and Guinea. Students learn through languages, songs, art, craft, drumming and theatrical games presented by Bi-Okoto

Bi-Okoto aims to preserve, promote and share the rich cultural heritage of Africa and Africans using drums, music, dance, food, languages and other arts to help create a world where individuals, families, and communities take pride in their cultural heritage while appreciating the cultural expression of others.

Bi-Okoto has earned a reputation as one of the country’s finest professional African traditional dance companies and cultural organizations. Bi-Okoto currently tours and performs in 48 states in the US. They have also toured internationally representing Nigeria in South Korea’s Youth Festival, Presidential welcomes in Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, and France. They were also selected by United States Armed Forces Entertainment for five-week military tours in the United Kingdom, Norway, The Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium where seven of our artists performed for our troops on American and United Nation bases, in honor of Black History Month for each of those years.
