Afrovibes Festival

Afrovibes Festival 2023  -  4 until 15 October in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht. Theater, dance, performance, fashion, music and exhibition from Rwanda, Tanzania, Mozambique, Ivory Coast, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Guinee/France, Algeria/Belgium, The Netherlands. 
In this 20th edition of Afrovibes Festival the oceans are the protagonists. The waters of the oceans served as ancient migration routes for trade and carrying people away from their territories. The oceans harbour countless memories and traces of colonial voyages, but are also a connecting force between cultures and continents. Water performs a poetic function and appears in healing rituals, ceremonies and practices in many African cultures. With Liquid Traces, this 20th edition of Afrovibes provides an artistic response to the memory of our (colonial) past and the attempts to come to terms with our past.
