Join us as we celebrate the vision and creativity of African changemakers who are reshaping global culture.

The RSA and the Africa Centre are teaming up to spotlight innovators driving social change through their cultural contributions.

At the RSA in Black History Month, we’ll explore how these emerging leaders are influencing global conversations and challenging traditional narratives, paving the way for a more inclusive and dynamic cultural landscape.

We will discuss how to amplify the impact of African culture on the global stage and consider ways we can foster deeper connections between cultural institutions and the changemakers leading this transformation.

Join us for an inspiring conversation that celebrates the power of African culture to create lasting social change.
