OTABENGA

The OTABENGA project is an educational and cultural initiative to reclaim the untold and forgotten legacy of Ota Benga through our mission to foster historical awareness and promote meaningful dialogue on issues of racism, representation, and colonialism. The story of Ota Benga has been told before, yet it remains untold from an artistic perspective. This is not just an idea or about a person. It's a concept of loss, the trauma, and healing all in one place. And, history always repeats itself. Can we see what is happening in our world today?
