OUR STORY

As African immigrants in Canada, we have always wondered how we could share the rich story of Africa from our perspective. A story that has no filter of poverty, propaganda or prejudice. We settled on a desire to showcase our rich African heritage in Canada through art. We’re taking a leap of faith, a small step in a thousand mile journey to bring Africa closer to you. We have partnered with local African artists to bring their art to a global audience. We hope through art, we can share stories of a rich continent that has so much to offer. We are passionate, young professional Africans from West and Southern Africa and this is our gift to you.

Our name, Kwetu, means ‘our home’ in Swahili - the most widely spoken indigenous language in Africa. We supply quality handcrafted art and craft pieces that are directly sourced from local Artists in Southern Africa. The KCC team work hand in hand with Artists to source and produce pieces in a socially conscious and equitable manner.
