Today the organization has grown a lot. Afia's team is bigger and the festival is now an explosion of vibes and South African culture with over 12 activities over 7 days. Afia hosts a number of other events as well, charity events, clubs and stage performances. Afia is always up for a good collaboration….if the same values and vision are shared of course!...
Basically, AFIA is a cultural event producer with the aim to connect and celebrate people and hold space for African cultures...
Afia is a non profit organization founded by Joanna Holewa Chrona and Theresa Gustavsson, two Swedish-based freelancing professional dancers, choreographers and also project leaders. Afia grew from the longing of wanting to make a change in our society, from wanting to support African artists and honoring African cultures, as well as to create a platform for people to enjoy, meet, connect and celebrate.
