Africa Utopia 2016
WHEN: Wednesday 31 August 2016 – Sunday 4 September 2016
WHERE: Southbank Centre, London (Map)
In 2012 Southbank Centre launched Africa Utopia, a festival dedicated to bringing art and ideas from Africa and the African diaspora to audiences in the UK. This year, discover art and ideas from Africa that are changing the world at the Southbank Centre, London.
Championed by Africa Utopia artistic collaborator, Senegalese singer and human rights advocate Baaba Maal, Africa Utopia presents talks, workshops, music and performances that celebrate the arts and culture of one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-changing continents.
Highlights include the return of Chineke! Orchestra, following their debut at the festival last year, and Mandela Trilogy, an epic operatic tribute to Nelson Mandela.
Explore social power dynamics in a play by Adura Onashile, learn traditional and contemporary African dance, listen to inspiring spoken word and discover the kaleidoscopic sounds of Asya Satti’s blues and soul.
Plus, you can taste authentic African cuisine from across the continent at the street food market.
