AFROPUNK is much more than a festival- it is a community. For over 15 years they have aimed to inspire and create a safe space for “the most expressive, influential, creative, and educated youth from across the African Diaspora”. They have fought to break down oppressive structures and redefine the ideologies that been the driving force behind the suppression of Black marginalized communities. AFROPUNK prides itself as being the only global entity to explore and redefine the Black and multicultural experience. Their mission is to unleash expression, honor individuality, and fortify our community.

AFROPUNK is proud of the global non-conformist movement that it has created, a vocal message of inclusiveness and ethos of “No Sexism, No Racism, No Ableism, No Ageism, No Homophobia, No Fatphobia, No Transphobia, No Hatefulness.”
