Different art forms from different continents - an experiment of encounters from the moment at this event and with the visitors.

This festival is characterised by diversity, creativity and cultural solidarity and places a special focus on intercultural exchange.

With AFROMUSE, we not only want to create an inspiring cultural experience, but also offer a platform for understanding and peace within our society. We are concerned with visibility, participation and dialogue between cultures - open, respectful and lively.

We were delighted to receive cultural funding from the city of Essen.
