AFROVIBES FESTIVAL 2025: LEGACY
We live in turbulent times. In a time of war and peace, climate change and the hope for a sustainable future, what ideas can give us faith, stability and trust? Have we learned anything from the turbulence of the past and what are we leaving behind for the generations after us?
The African makers and artists at Afrovibes 2025 capture the current intense zeitgeist in their performances as they experience it from Africa. They look at the past, the present and their and our future. And ask questions about their African cultural heritage and how we can learn lessons from the past about courage, ethics and collective strength.
What would you do to protect the people you love most? What are the erased stories of queer people of color? What is the legacy of a legendary Congolese leader like Patrice Lumumba for today’s Congo. And are there perhaps ancient African rituals to tackle contemporary greed? It’s all covered in Afrovibes 2025.
The 22nd edition of the Afrovibes Festival starts on October 2! Until October 12, we will be presenting a festival program in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Haarlem around the theme Legacy with performances from South Africa, Ivory Coast, Cape Verde and the Netherlands, among others.
