The Real African Cultural Exhibition Showcase (TRACES) is a signature event at the University of Waterloo. Hosted by the University of Waterloo's African Student Association (UWASA), TRACES celebrates the richness of African heritage through a series of artistic performances that embody a particular theme each year.
This year’s theme is “Dwennimmen” (directly translating to "the horns of a ram"). Originating from the Twi language of Ghana, ‘Dwennimmen’ represents humility and strength, expressing the concept of acquiring true wisdom through a willingness to grow.
The event serves as a platform for individuals to showcase their talents to the university community and beyond, encouraging all participants to make meaningful connections and enhance cross-cultural understanding. Through a fusion of dance, music, fashion, poetry, and film, TRACES aims to entertain and enlighten our audience on the beauty of African culture.
