Alters, Ancestors, Antiques
February 8 @ 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Hosted by BEACOUP HOODOO & BLK MKT Vintage
Description (from host)
We are thrilled to present “Altars, Ancestors & Antiques”, a two-hour dialogue and experience centered on our relationship to our elders and ancestors, as well as our connections to vintage and antique objects. Please join BEACOUP HOODOO’s very own Shantrelle Lewis as she hosts BLK MKT Vintage co-founders Jannah and Kiyanna Handy and Mama Koko (Kokahvah Zauditu-Selassie, Ph.D) for an intergenerational dialogue about ways to honor our ancestors in these times and how Black material culture offers us possibilities. “Altars, Ancestors & Antiques” is part of the BLK MKT Vintage Book Tour 2.0 and will be held at Our House Culture Center in Germantown, Philadelphia
Immediately following the dialogue, attendees are welcome to join us down the street at BEAUCOUP HOODOO, an African-centered concept bookstore/botanica (designed by BLK MKT Vintage) for a toast, book-signing and mingling. Guests will be encouraged to explore BEAUCOUP HOODOO’s product offering, have their BLK MKT Vintage book signed and learn more about ATRS (African Traditional Religions and Spirituality).
Capacity is limited, so please register early. Registration closes on March 1st, 2025.
