Who We Are
Folklore Acts on Tour is a cultural touring collective and booking agency dedicated to amplifying the voices, rhythms, and traditions of the African diaspora and global South. We work at the intersection of performance, education, and cultural diplomacy, organizing artist residencies, tours, and community-based programs that honor heritage while creating space for contemporary expression.
Our artists—storytellers, dancers, musicians, poets, and tradition bearers—are cultural ambassadors who bring generations of wisdom to global stages. Through intentional partnerships with schools, festivals, universities, and grassroots networks, we craft immersive experiences that foster dialogue, healing, and transformation.
Whether on tour or in residence, we bring culture with purpose—uniting people through story, rhythm, and shared humanity.
Our Mission
Folklore Acts on Tour exists to connect communities through the universal language of performance, education, and cultural exchange.
We support tradition bearers, performing artists, and cultural workers by organizing intentional tours, residencies, and engagements that celebrate ancestral wisdom, foster cross-cultural understanding, and inspire global citizenship and social impact.
Our Vision
We envision a world where cultural traditions are not only preserved but celebrated as living tools for healing, resistance, and global connection.
Through storytelling, movement, music, and dialogue, we aim to build a global network of artists and allies working together to advance equity, imagination, and intercultural solidarity.
