Organized by
The work and the focus of AFROPUNK over the last 16 years has been to deconstruct oppressive structures and ideologies that have suppressed expression of Black marginalized communities.
AFROPUNK is incredibly proud of the global non-conformist movement that they have created in almost two decades, and continue to convey a vocal message of inclusiveness and ethos of “No Sexism, No Racism, No Ableism, No Ageism, No Homophobia, No Fatphobia, No Transphobia, No Hatefulness.”
