When Lisbon meets London.
As part of its London chapter, the collective launched The Library to connect Lisbon’s Luso-African communities with the Black British community residing in London. The event brought audiences into a full-day experience of visual art, film, poetry, and music, alongside an exclusive Kizomba class, in collaboration with Chocolate Kizomba.
Closing with an afterparty led by DON’T CALL ME TAKO, DMoney, and aldö, the programme celebrated the dialogue between African diasporas and the creative energy born from their meeting.
