Kenya's biggest festival, Africa Nouveau, is back!

Africa Nouveau is an annual, three days/three nights arts and music festival congregating creators, curators and fans of African cool from Africa and its diaspora. Our core values are innovation, creativity, collaboration, identity and sustainability.

Africa Nouveau ascribes to the Afrobubblegum philosophy that states that African art can be fun, fierce, fantastical and frivolous, with no other intended aim but to increase joy. The festivals theme, Afrobubblegum seeks to show that African music, film, fashion and art is from fun, fierce and fantastical, created simply for the love of it.


Over the course of three days and nights, the festival seeks to produce hopeful and joyful ways of imagining Africans and their link to the worlds around them.
