Pilgrimages, not Tourism.
Presentism Travel is an endeavor to support people who are committed to traveling for the purpose of tracing their lineage, and familiarizing themselves with the history and cultures of Black and Indigenous people, globally.

-
Presentism Travel, as the pilgrimage-focused branch of Studio Nkisi, designs research voyages and educational travel experiences rooted in an ethos of Afropresentism.
-
Engagements range from standalone consultation sessions for short voyages to several months for comprehensive, thematic pilgrimage and experiential curriculum design.
-
An introductory consultation call allows prospective collaborators to share more about their desired voyage.
Presentism Travel is also fiscally-sponsored, which means that those interested in making tax-deductible donations to go towards subsidizing/sponsoring free and sliding-scale voyages for low-income Black and Indigenous participants can do so here.

The Presentism Travel Pilgrimage Fund is a grassroots initiative to lower the financial burden that prohibits low-income Black and Indigenous people from being able to embark on international journeys. In pursuit of reinidgenization, we invite those with greater access to materially support the mobility of Black cultural workers who are seeking to deepen their relationship to other Indigenous people through our voyages on the African continent and beyond via tax-deductible donations.
Presentism Travel is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of Presentism Travel must be made payable to “Fractured Atlas” only and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
