Event Details

On July 10th, join House of  “The Koteba Ball: A Celebration of Global Africa”. From Africa to the Caribbean, passing through Europe, Asia, Latin, and North America, come connect, chat, shake it, and experience what a multi-layered pan-Africanism can look like in 2026 New York.

In celebration of its New York launch, and hosted in partnership with MoCADA, House of Koteba invites you to remember Global Africa’s longstanding tradition of communal joy as cultural resistance, and collective re-invention. From the American South juke joints, to Caribbean dance halls, and Francophone Africa bals poussières, the Global African Youth has often relied on the sacred third space known as the club to socialize, re-think global systems, and project themselves into the future.

Rooted in this cultural heritage, House of Koteba brings you a party by and for the people! Come celebrate, re-imagine, and build towards a future we all deserve!

Music by Run P. and Ianko.

About House of Koteba

House of Koteba draws its name and ethos from Kotéba, the ancient Bambara theatrical tradition combining humor, music, dance, and satire to entertain, educate, and facilitate collective repair. As a flagship initiative of the New York-based, artist-led creative agency Petite Monsieur, the organization operates as a dynamic creative hub where cultural resilience meets economic sovereignty. Grounded in a deep appreciation for the shared heritage and inherent diversity of Global Africa, House of Koteba strives to foster a strong creative ecosystem where Global African artists are empowered to scale their entrepreneurial projects. Through public programs and pro-bono consulting services, the initiative provides a vital space for dialogue, connection, and collective transformation, reimagining the present to build a more equitable and interconnected future.

This program was made possible thanks to generous support from the NYC Coalition of Theaters of Color in collaboration with NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and NYC Council,  and New York State Council on the Arts.
