African Art & Cultural Community Contributor Society

Under the 3C act. The African Art & Cultural Community Contributor Incorporated was founded under VAACCS on October 19, 2012, by Pulchérie Mboussi. Pulchérie was born in Cameroon, in the beautiful continent of Africa. From the time she immigrated to Canada in the mid-1980s, she has earned a strong reputation as a community leader and advocate of promoting and celebrating the rich and diverse culture of Africa and the Caribbean.

​Pulchérie's life-long commitment as an Ambassador of African and Caribbean culture continued when she moved to Victoria BC in 2010. This year, she needs the help and support of the community she now calls home.

Our Black-Led, Black-Serving, Black-Oriented organization is an art & Cultural organization whose main mandate is to advance awareness and understanding of the richness and diversity of African culture and traditions through the promotion of a broad range of cultural, educational, and artistic activities, events, and programs. Since 2017, we have been advocating for the International Decade for People of African Descent.

Our organization, African Art & Cultural Community Contributor CCC. Inc. (AACCCS) has been mandated to act as the Community Convener for people of African Descent living in British Columbia, in addressing the rise in hate and racism in our province through the BC Resilience Project.

Since our inception, we have organized the following events with resounding success:

La Calebasse du Nomade - Monthly Community Dinners & Summer Food truck

African & Caribbean Spirit Nights

African Cultural Week & AfriCa Fest

Culture Days Celebration

Round Table Discussions focused on cultural minorities challenges and opportunities in Victoria and BC

Black History Month Community Recognition Awards & Closing Gala
