GOAL
At GCE-CFGC, our goal is crystal clear: to safeguard and enrich the vibrant Garifuna cultural heritage by seamlessly weaving together traditional and international art forms and music. Throughout history, indigenous communities have faced daunting challenges—disenfranchisement, displacement, and resource exploitation.
