Fans have welcomed the return of live concerts, and the demand for digital viewing of music performances still remains. The partnership between AFROPUNK and Twitch will be a game changer for viewers who want to feel transported into a live music atmosphere during their streaming experience.  In addition to live music, streaming audiences will view tons of content from on-the-ground influencers.

AFROPUNK has been synonymous with Black freedom of expression in a myriad of forms, connecting the diaspora through the celebration of music, art, food, fashion, and community outreach programs. This year’s theme of “WE GOT US” hones in on the message of self-reliance and self-determination within the Black community and is an invitation to celebrate Black culture unapologetically. AFROPUNK ATLANTA festival-goers will have the opportunity to engage in a diverse range of entertainment including everything from politics and social justice, meditation, and Black self-care, to the trendsetting cultural hot-takes emanating within the Black community.
