Bridging Cultural Communities

O Team is a 501 c3 Non-profit NYC-based culture and arts organization committed to designing transformative artistic, educational, and cultural projects to impact underserved, under-represented, and intergenerational community members in the US and its territories. We build inclusive communities that foster social justice, authentic expressions, and love for the arts. We create safe, open-minded learning spaces where cultural diversity and identities are respected and celebrated. Through multicultural and multidisciplinary initiatives, we create culturally responsive experiences where the arts and education meet, and where we can build equity and equality for all of our participants. O Team collaborates with Afro-indigenous artists, communities, and educators to develop BIPOC networks, as we work on the sustainability of our services and collaborators. We build partnerships to create healthier communities and support  Younger generations. We acknowledge our community elders and their importance in remembering our traditions and position them as pillars of these communities for visibility and interconnectedness. We work with embodied information, oral traditions, diverse art forms, and the stories that reaffirm our identity. We seek the support of philanthropic agencies and individuals who believe Afro-indigenous communities could thrive, and empower themselves through the arts, their culture, their ancestral history, and dignified representation.
