New York (TADIAS) — Recently we featured Afripedia — a visionary online platform developed by self-taught filmmakers Teddy Goitom and Senay Berhe — featuring visual artists, fashion designers, filmmakers and cultural activists across the African continent.

On Sunday, November 15th National Sawdust in Brooklyn, NY will host an evening of Afripedia film screenings (Afripedia x Kenya and Afripedia x Ghana) followed by a conversation with Co-Founders Teddy Goitom and Senay Berhe as well as musical performances by African visual artists Blinky Bill and Jojo Abot.

Afripedia was initially launched to showcase a series of films highlighting six African countries and is currently being developed into to a hub where African visual artists can share their work and get hired by multimedia organizations worldwide. Afripedia’s expansion is supported through a one-year residency at the New Museum’s incubator (New Inc.) in New York City.
