Welcome
Kuumba Nia Arts is an Black led Oxford-based touring theatre company that produces and develops work based on traditional African theatrical forms and aesthetics. In Swahili, Kuumba means ‘creativity’ whilst Nia can be translated as ‘intention’ or ‘purpose’. Our mission and purpose is to fuse contemporary creative performance styles with historical African forms that have been passed to the diaspora to create a theatre that breaks new ground. Creating unique productions of startling authenticity that inform, surprise and entertain. We also run workshops, film screenings and events.

Our acclaimed award winning play SOLD, is based on the true story of Mary Prince and speaks to Freedom, Justice and Reparations for the millions who endured, lost their lives during this holocaust, and their descendants. The legacy and the wealth generated from that 'trade' still remains today.
Join us as we celebrate Mary Prince and bring her truth to the stage.
