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”.
