Mission

Programs

4 programs

As iau seeks to better understand the universal criteria for black thriving, the expedition serves predominantly as a research effort. The paris edition is organized around the ceremonial induction of josephine baker into the illustrious pantheon, the monument which houses the remains of france's most renowned war heroes, authors, and luminaries of various distinctions.

Over a period of several months, iau will engage organizations in a transformative process exploring the application of "repairations" within each organization and with the communities it serves. In order to usher in a paradigm shift that is worthy of 2021's worldwide racial reckoning, a new framework is required. Iau's approach is rooted in a model of restoration and repair, one that seeks to restore balance in relationships with each other and the environment.
