Black HERSTORY aims to “create an immersive multidisciplinary experience that includes music, visual art, poetry, dance, performance art, and much more, honoring and celebrating Black women throughout history.” Each activation will educate, entertain, and inspire guests who attend the affair.
According to a press statement, by partnering with the Lincoln Center, AFROPUNK “seeks to remind New York why it’s one of the most vital and vibrant cultural institutions in the city and beyond.”
AFROPUNK is an integrated media platform and global music festival platform. In 2022, it hosted concerts in Brooklyn, Miami, Minneapolis, Paris, London, Atlanta, and Johannesburg.
