This award-winning yearly event brought to you in partnership with The City of North Miami and Dutch Culture USA program has been recognized by the New York Times as one of the best fairs taking place during last year's Art Basel Miami Beach / Miami Art week, and this year, this weeklong event is back with a full schedule of events that celebrate Global Africa and the Black world. This year's event is themed 'Threads of Life in Fragments of Time' and will offer an unforgettable journey through humanity, art, pressing environmental issues and climate justice.
A key component of this year's fair is the Dutch Kingdom's exemplary efforts toward sustainability. We will highlight the Netherlands' advanced infrastructure and environmental solutions that also serves as a blueprint for global conversations on how to tackle the complexities of water management-too much in some places, too little in others. The exhibit highlights how water, a life-giving yet destructive force, can be managed sustainably to benefit both people and the planet.
The All-White VIP Affair will have a dress code of white with a splash of African chic, and during the event, guests will experience visual and performing arts, film, food, talks, and more with artists from 33+ countries. We are proud to honor two distinguished artists-Cameroonian/Dutch photographer Angele Etoundi Essamba and UK-based artist and frontman of Prodigy, Maxim-with the 2024 AfriKin Award of Excellence for their exceptional contributions to the arts.
Featured performances at the Vernissage on December 1st include: Aboubacar Camara (Guinea), Aboubacar "Amo" Soumah (Guinea), Braata Dancers (Belize), Connis Vanterpool (Sint Maarten), Delou Africa (Africa), Essynce of the Dutch Caribbean, (Kingdom of the Netherlands), JaShua Sa Ra (US), Morikeba Galiya Kouyate (Senegal), Nadia Sol (Jamaica), Saturnin Ba (Ivory Coast), Yrneh Gabon (Jamaica), Zest Collective (US).
Then, on Wednesday, December 4th, the AfriKin Artist Talk - How They Underdeveloped the Black World will feature two distinguished artists-Cameroonian/Dutch photographer Angele Etoundi Essamba and UK-based artist and frontman of Prodigy, Maxim, moderated by Jamaican Fullbright fellow and artist Yrneh Gabon. They will unpack how art heals emotional trauma, the impact of colonization on the Black world, and, why artists must use their art to foster peace, understanding and build bridges for our global kin.
On Thursday, December 5th, the fair will feature a panel discussion - Man's Journey with Nature in partnership with Impact Edition magazine. In addition to the screening of 'Ready to be a Warrior' a film about Betye Saar followed by a Q&A with the director Angela Witherspoon and narrator CCH Pounder.
