The Walking Griot is a collective dedicated to the facilitation and production of art and programs about Afro-Caribbean culture geared towards young Black audiences and communities.

The collective was created to fill a gap we saw existing within the Toronto theatre community. This is space for Black children to engage with stories that are rooted in their cultural mythology, Caribbean knowledge systems, and embodied experiences.

The stories we create are interwoven with cultural and traditional elements and invite audiences into African and Caribbean culture, while creating art that (re)connects and educates while keeping culture and traditional storytelling art forms alive.
