Ereba collective has been designed to be a receptacle of pedagogical materials intended to help members of our community to form a strong sense of identity and belonging.
The name of Ereba Collective was chosen to represent Garifuna, a Black-Indigenous cultural heritage. Ereba is a food product made from cassava, and Garifuna women manufacture it as a tradition transmitted by their ancestors, including the West Africans, the indigenous Taino, and Arawak.
Many cultural traditions that Black-Indigenous peoples practice are fundamentally evocative and provocative art forms. Garifuna women, for example, have linked their language, most of their dances, songs, and culinary art to a complex Afro-Indigenous ancestral legacy that has been cherished and maintained for hundreds of years. These women have continued to practice their ancestral traditions despite efforts of identity erasure around them and exclusions of their ways of knowing as legitimate knowledge.
Our goal in this organization is to collect documents, images, documentaries, movies, books, and artifacts that have told and continue to tell stories about the Garifuna people from the past and the present. Besides collecting learning materials, Ereba Collective is an open space that works towards generating meaningful collaboration among people from all ethnicities, genders, sexualities, capacities, races, and abilities.
Ereba Collective is a space from which we can come together and have rich conversations about historical events and seek understanding about how those events have impacted our societies.
