Afripedia (November 14 and 15, 2015) will be a new film/music/discussion series exploring creativity in an evolving Africa. This five-part documentary will reveal the latest art and music scene in Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, Kenya and Angola, giving the featured new generation of creatives who are participating in contemporary culture an unprecedented level of exposure before U.S. audiences. Afripedia‘s 5 short films are part of a transmedia project that will expand into a global platform for Africa and the African diaspora to inform, connect, follow and showcase their artistic practices.
