One celebration.
Many expressions.

Rooted in the land. Alive with music. Carried by the community.
The experience connects thanksgiving for harvest with cultural performance, documented community participation and a living archive for future festival editions.
01 • Festival
The gathering
Iri Ji is associated with the new-yam season, thanksgiving and the public renewal of community relationships in many Igbo communities. Its form, terminology and observance differ across communities.
This festival presents its own programme in Anambra State while keeping general Igbo context, Anambra perspectives and host-community practice clearly distinguished.
About the festival
02 • Heritage
More than a meal
Yam carries agricultural, economic and ceremonial importance in many Igbo communities. Iri Ji can express gratitude for labour, land and harvest while reaffirming kinship and cultural continuity.
The heritage section will document these meanings without presenting every Igbo or Anambra community as culturally uniform.
