Charting New Paths from a Shared Past
Sameboat Project is a not-for-profit organisation committed to using cross cultural
art and performance for reconciliation, participation and community building.
Our main objective is to send a crew from Africa, the UK and the Caribbean to
retrace the Atlantic Slave Triangle on a sailing boat and for that crew to transport a cargo of cultural arts and symbols gathered from theatre audiences in the UK,
Europe and Africa.
Sameboat Project aims to develop an understanding of the historical roots and contemporary results of The Slave Trade using performance, art, ritual, music and water sports to commemorate and redeem the past sufferings of all races.

Sameboat Project Sierra Leone
Sameboat Project Sierra Leone now has over a 100 members and an office in the National Stadium, from which outreach projects seek to engage local people through theatre in activities designed to strengthen their communities and create opportunities for economic and cultural development.
In March 2008, Amistad Heritage International and Sameboat Project Sierra Leone commemorated the 201 years of the Abolition of the Atlantic Slave Trade at a press conference held at the Amistad Heritage office, Fort Street, Freetown.
Executive Director of Amistad Heritage International, Mr. Samuel H. Pieh. said the slave trade past and present was a gross abuse of human rights. He said victims of slavery are often also sufferers of psychological enslavement and added that
slavery anywhere is a threat to human freedom.
