The 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, AfriKin creates cultural connections through masterful artistry, meaningful conversations, and community engagement. The term AfriKin is the fusion of two words — Africa and kinship. AfriKin utilizes cultural programming to highlight the importance of art and culture in the reshaping of communities. AfriKin activations and programming are focused on the development of cultural industry, advancement through strategic partnerships and kinship across ethnic lines.
VISION
AfriKin exists as an effort to create opportunities for positive transformation through thought and action sustained by academic articulations, and aesthetic imaginations for the development of cultural industries. It focuses on engagement and quality of care, championing Global Africa’s image to allow more strategic partnerships. We must use our Africanness as a basis of kinship as we bridge histories and craft futures.
AfriKin Art fair, an annual art exhibition during Art Basel Miami Beach / Miami Art Week, is a signature event of the AfriKin series. The exhibition features an array of international, emerging and mid-career artists of acclaim from the world stage. The annual exhibition and ancillary programming are created for art lovers and most sought after by collectors and curators.
