A fresh festival is coming to Brussels, highlighting African music and performance art. It will showcase the continent’s diverse culture and modern artistic creations, including those from its global communities. With the theme “Future Memories,” the festival will feature exciting music, dance, and live performances, providing a space to explore how identities are formed and changed.
The Afropolitan Festival is a big event that shows off the coolest new art from Africa and its people living in Europe. BOZAR, a well-known art center in Brussels, is where these artists get to display their work. The festival puts the spotlight on current artists from both Belgium and other countries who have African roots. It especially focuses on Afrofuturism, which started in the 1950s.
The Afropolitan Festival 2024, held from February 29 to March 3, was a great example of celebrating African culture in Europe. It lets people really experience and learn about the many different parts of African identity and new ideas in art. 
The Afrodisiac Festival is another event that helps celebrate African culture in Brussels. This festival, which is for all ages, will be held on July 13 and 14, 2024, at the Bois de la Cambre.
These festivals, along with events like the Couleur Café Festival, make Brussels a richer cultural place and give African artists a chance to showcase their work. Sauti Za Visiwa, the new festival celebrating the music and creativity of African people and their diasporas, will kick off at Le Baixu in Brussels on Thursday and continue through Sunday, March 20 to 23, 2025.
These festivals collectively underscore the growing recognition and appreciation of African arts and culture in Brussels, fostering intercultural dialogue and celebrating the contributions of the African diaspora to the global arts landscape.
