Poetic Temple x The Africa Centre Presents - Golden Ages

Humanity has walked this Earth for many millennia, a truth echoed through ancient relics and forgotten civilizations, challenging Darwin’s linear evolution with evidence of cycles far older and deeper.

Astrology tells us the great procession of the equinoxes, a 26,000-year cosmic dance, marks humanity’s descent and ascent through different ages. Some say we are now reawakening, exiting the darker ages and remembering golden times past.

A Golden Age like those of ancient Nubia and Kemet was marked by harmony, matriarchy, and equality. This evening honours those energies through poetry, art, and open expression.
