To become a universal culture brand promoting and creating opportunities in African Culture for enhancing creativity, social cohesion, youth empowerment, economic growth & development.
MISSION
To annually convene African culture stakeholders to generate ideas, foster innovations and capacities that continue to enhance the values of African culture and create economic opportunities therein, thus placing culture at the heart of our development strategies, as a condition for sustainable development, and a powerful driving factor for its achievement.
PRESERVING AFRICAN CULTURE
Over the years, African culture has steadily seen an overwhelming influence by foreign cultures, due majorly to an unbridled proclivity for Western values and traditions, which have made imperative the need for deliberate and sustained channels of enlightenment, rejuvenation and celebration of African culture and values, towards their preservation for posterity and exploration for economic opportunities.
PROMOTING SOCIAL COHESION AND NATION BUILDING
Culture remains a veritable instrument for social cohesion and nation building, to which end the foremost African culture brand has been engaging and empowering youths, promoting and supporting communities to participate in Arts, while also bringing different people from diverse cultural backgrounds together annually to celebrate and partake in the preservation of Africa’s Cultural Heritage.
REWARDING CULTURAL EXCELLENCE
Since inception as Sisi-Oge in 2006, Culturati has been constantly fostering proper understanding of African culture through art exhibitions, fashion shows, dance, poetry, music, cuisine, crafts etc., while dedicatedly rewarding the invaluable contributions of African cultural icons.
PROMOTING CULTURE AS A VIABLE ECONOMIC TOOL
The latent economic potentials in African culture and the various unique underpinnings thereon, readily form a veritable source of creative expressions, value creation, youth development and empowerment, tourism & arts promotion, economic growth & development, all of which resonate with global sustainable development goals SDGs. Culturati has sustained the culture of motivating young and upcoming creatives to ride on the back of their culture to the plains of their dreams, while also promoting it as a viable economic tool.
BOOSTING CULTURAL TOURISM
