Presented by SaatchiArt.com, the world’s leading online art gallery, The Other Art Fair is a global gathering of creative thinkers, game changers, and pleasure seekers sharing emerging talent and unforgettable experiences. Set against the backdrop of the world’s biggest cities, each of our fairs is different. This fair combines boundary-pushing yet always affordable works with immersive installations, DJs, performances, and the odd tattoo thrown in for good measure.
Art isn’t confined to convention or rule; how you enjoy it shouldn’t be either.
A place where art feels accessible, where everyone fits in, where the experience exists outside of four white walls and the same four artists?
That’s not normal. That’s The Other Art Fair.
The Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute’s 4th annual AFRIBEMBÉ FESTIVAL is set to take our community on a Diasporic journey through space and time! In the spirit of Sankofa, this Pan-African festival will highlight our shared heritage through powerful musical performances that are rooted in ancestral African rhythms and traditions yet that represent the rich diversity of the Diasporic cultures of Brazil, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and the Motherland by way of Guinea. Powered by the Black genius of both emerging and renowned African descendant creatives, AFRIBEMBÉ is an opportunity to rejoice in our people’s artistry, intellectuality, and musicality.
