February 24, 2022

AFROPUNK is excited to announce the first ever Planet AFROPUNK Live Experience in Miami taking place from May 20-May 22 at The Urban, which is in the historic Overtown neighborhood. The three day event brings to Miami a collection of musicians, artists, entrepreneurs, activists connected together by their vibrant and diverse roots that make up the Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latinx community. To introduce the Planet AFROPUNK Live Experience, AFROPUNK will host a panel of expert speakers to touch on some of the most thought provoking discussions, followed by two days of live music and art exhibitions. With this first of its kind event, AFROPUNK seeks to bridge the gap that exists between the African diaspora through food, dance, tech, art and stimulating conversations that will embrace commonalities within the various communities. In between live shows, audiences will get to enjoy the Spinthrift Market, a shop market full of talented makers, selectors and curators from all across the diaspora. AFROPUNK’s Bites ‘n Beats, is the literal embodiment of “food for the soul” as it provides event goers an opportunity to indulge in cuisines from renowned chefs and local food trucks.

AFROPUNK’s call to action the community by posing a question that is “What Is Blackness To You”, a reminder for the people to re-define what being Black means to them. AFROPUNK is devoted to creating safe spaces for the expression of Black liberation and a Black Future where we love ourselves and each other without preconception. The AFROPUNK tenets serve as a North Star and remind people to check themselves, ego and each other when we enter the shared spaces.
