We bring you a presentation on how the Africa Center is transforming the world’s understanding of Africa, its Diaspora and the role of people of African descent in the world. Serving as the hub for the exchange of ideas around culture, business, and policy related to the continent, and in the spirit of collaboration and engagement with individuals and institutions who share the Center’s values, The Africa Center inspires enthusiasm, and advances thought and action around Africa’s global influence and impact on our collective and shared futures.

Also join us for a presentation and 2 film clips celebrating the 28th New York African Film Festival is presented under the banner, “Notes From Home: Recurring Dreams & Women’s Voices.” Programs in this edition of the festival present the many different “types of Africa”. It reflects the dynamism of “African-ness”, highlighting the ways in which we are all connected in cyclical dreams of hope and change and the voices of women who push the culture forward while preserving treasured traditions.

Presenting an array of offerings that capture “Africanness” in its myriad iterations and manifestations, NYAFF spotlights the global Black community’s influence on our cultural pasts, present, and futures.

The festival took place in Film at Lincoln Center’s Virtual Cinema from February 4 to 14. The second leg of the festival is live from February 18 to March 4 at Maysles Documentary Center Virtual Cinema. Tickets are available here.
