Every year, the African Student Organization (ASO) of the University of
Pittsburgh hosts a cultural extravaganza. The show is entitled WAZOBIA:
Beyond the Surface. It is a celebration of the extensive variety of
African culture ranging from language, dance, attire, poetry, and comedy
to cuisine. The show will be including fashion designers from all over
the globe. Specifically from Canada, Egypt, Nigeria, & of course
here in the states. We will even be featuring the Mapapa African
Acrobats from Kenya. The event it meant to inform Pitt & the greater
Pittsburgh community about African culture while simultaneously raising
money for our annual African culture ranging from language,

This year we are raising money to help mediate malaria in Malawi. These
days malaria is such an easy disease to cure but many people in Africa
suffer from it because they do not have access to basic necessities such
as nets, durable shoes or medicine.
Date: Friday, March 22nd Time: Doors open at 8:00pm.
