AfriKin Talks: A critical conversation on conscience, culture, and community.
About this Event

AfriKin Talks 2025 invites artists, curators, cultural scholars, and creative entrepreneurs to an urgent and rigorous roundtable discussion on Ethical Practices in the Arts with a focus on equity, reparative justice, and cultural stewardship in the context of African and African Diaspora art.


At a time when the global art market grapples with extractive practices, performative DEI, and the erasure of cultural memory, AfriKin Talks offers a values-based forum for building a more ethical and equitable art world. Together, we ask:

• How can we approach site-specific projects with empathy and local accountability?

• What role should artists and institutions play in historical repair?

• How do we sustain social investments in artists and their communities?

• How do we invite diverse publics into the future direction of art from the Global African

perspective?


Why This Matters?

For academic partners, philanthropists, collectors, and cultural institutions, AfriKin Talks

provides a rare opportunity to:

• Engage directly with global thought leaders in African and Diaspora art discourse

• Explore actionable frameworks for ethical artistic engagement and reparative practices

• Position your institution or brand at the forefront of conscious cultural dialogue

• Participate in a growing legacy of critical thinking and transformative justice in the arts
