As the grand finale of the KWABO Fest incubator workshops, Performance Night is a vibrant space where creativity, culture, and community come together. All workshop participants are invited to collaborate and showcase the work they’ve developed throughout their journey. Whether through dance, song, spoken word, or visual storytelling, this evening is a celebration of shared stories, personal expression, and cultural exchange.
It’s more than a performance — it’s a collective moment where BIPOC artists connect, uplift each other, and inspire the wider community. Everyone is welcome to join, collaborate, and contribute to this night of artistic celebration and meaningful connection.
