A tribute to African American Heritage. “What we’re hoping is that it helps the community get a better understanding of what Kwanza is,” Museum Education and Community Outreach Liaison Lisa Jackson said.Savannah African Art Museum is hosting a marketplace every Friday leading up to Kwanzaa. The marketplace will also feature local artists. “So, every Friday we have different artists,” Jackson said. “We have different artists with different types of art. We have two fine artists, we have someone who has jewelry, we have someone who makes homemade soaps and body lotions.”Along with learning those facts about Kwanzaa attendees, you can also enjoy items like dresses Made in Ghana. “Any event like this where you can support local artists and African American arts and culture you should absolutely come out and buy,” Attendee Kamili Mtume said. Mtume says her family has celebrated Kwanzaa for more than 50 years. “It’s part of our heritage and I would suggest that everyone try,” Mtume said. “Most people nowadays will do Christmas first because of course that’s what they do and then do Kwanzaa the 7 days of Kwanzaa which begins on the 26th. So it’s a great way to do both celebrations.” The marketplace will take place on Dec. 2, 9, 16, and 23, from 12-4 p.m. It’s on the second floor of the terracotta gallery, located at 201 East 37th St. in Savannah.
