Creativity is life

Culture and creativity are essential components of sustainable human development. They are key drivers of the African continent’s future economy.

AFRICALIA AFRICALIA actively implements this vision by empowering creators and creative organizations, fostering collaboration, providing support for growth, and connecting them to a broader network.

Through these efforts, AFRICALIA is dedicated to showcasing the transformative power of culture and creativity to drive economic innovation and social progress across Africa.

Creativity inspires collaboration

AFRICALIA works hand in hand with various African, Belgian, and European organizations to reach its objective. In Africa, we implement work programs that are closely tied to the cultural fabric of each country's civil society.

Creativity inspires action

AFRICALIA works with some 15 organisations and networks in 5 sub-Saharan African countries. Our partners are active in various creative sectors: audiovisual, performing arts, literature and visual arts. Each partnership is based on mutual respect and on a sustainable, long-term collaboration. Read more about our partners' activities on our blog.

Creativity in your hands

AFRICALIA co-produces books and documentaries that highlight African contemporary cultural expressions. Africa is marked by cultural movements that give the continent a strong identity and creators need to be able to gather and exchange ideas to nurture this diversity.
