The Baza Development Association (BAZADA) is proud to announce the successful conclusion of the Baza/Kunama Cultural Week, a vibrant celebration of heritage, identity, and community. The event, which brought together community members, invited guests, and online participants, highlighted the richness of Baza/Kunama traditions through performances, exhibitions, and dialogue.

One of the most captivating features of the week was the cultural exhibition, where artifacts, tools, and traditional instruments were carefully displayed. The exhibition provided a unique educational experience, allowing both community members and guests to gain insight into the diverse cultural practices of the Baza/Kunama people. From household tools to ceremonial items, the displays served as a bridge between generations, preserving knowledge and inspiring pride.

Cultural dances, storytelling sessions, and artistic performances added vibrancy to the week, offering audiences a chance to witness the living traditions that continue to define Baza identity. These moments were not only entertaining but also deeply meaningful, reinforcing the values of unity, resilience, and cultural pride.


In addition to artistic showcases, round table discussions created a platform for meaningful dialogue on social and cultural issues facing the community. These discussions fostered collective reflection, explored challenges, and strengthened the commitment to cultural preservation and development.

The hybrid format of the event ensured wide participation. While many attended physically, a significant number joined through social media platforms, allowing the cultural week to reach an even broader audience across the diaspora and beyond.


BAZADA’s Board and Management extend heartfelt gratitude to:

  • The organizers whose dedication made the week possible,
  • The performers and cultural presenters who brought traditions to life,
  • The attendees—both in person and online—who enriched the event with their presence and participation.

The success of this cultural week reflects the shared commitment of the Baza/Kunama community and friends to honor heritage, celebrate identity, and foster unity across generations and borders.


With the conclusion of this year’s cultural week, BAZADA looks forward to building on this momentum. Future initiatives will continue to focus on cultural preservation, education, and community development, ensuring that the heritage of the Baza/Kunama people remains a source of pride and inspiration for generations to come.
