Join us at the WorldBeat Cultural Center, nestled in the heart of Balboa Park, downtown San Diego, for a special event celebrating cultural reclamation and resilience. On Friday, February 14th, from 6 PM to 8 PM, we invite you to a free screening of “Ishak,” an inspiring short documentary experimental drama.

This film delves into the rich history of the Atakapa-Ishak Nation, highlighting the challenges faced by the Afro-Indigenous community in proving their ancestry. Despite significant obstacles presented by the controversial “blood quantum rule,” the Atakapa-Ishak people continue to demonstrate resilience and cultural reclamation efforts. This screening aims to illuminate these challenges and celebrate their enduring spirit.

After the film, engage in an insightful Q&A session with Maaliyah Papillion, the talented director of “Ishak.” This is a unique opportunity to explore the themes of the film and connect directly with the filmmaker.

While attending, savor the flavors of our Caribbean Vegan soul food at the OneWorldBeat Cafe, featuring ingredients grown in our own garden. Experience the WorldBeat Cultural Center’s commitment to promoting peace and unity through cultural diversity.

We look forward to welcoming you to this enlightening event, where we continue our mission to celebrate and preserve the rich tapestry of Indigenous cultures.
