What is AFA?

Our platform brings together lectures, educational videos, and curated reads on African history, trade, culture, and development. We showcase speculative Afrofuturistic designs and highlight Africa’s greatest leaders, kings, and queens, creating a living archive of knowledge and imagination.

Through Artificial Intelligence, 2D experiences and AR we reimagine African history while inspiring bold visions of the future. AFA is more than education. We are a cultural hub that connects Africa’s rich past with its limitless possibilities ahead.

We believe in the power of learning and creativity to reshape how Africa is seen and understood. By honoring the past and daring to envision the future, AFA unlocks new ways of thinking, teaching, and inspiring change..

AFA is transforming how the world learns about Africa.

Reviews from some of our readers

  • Intricate wooden ceiling with colorful stained glass windows in traditional Islamic design.

    I just came across your organization from an article in VA and I am excited!!! I am really impressed by what you have achieved!

    AFA Reader - Martin

  • A modern two-story house with a thatched roof, large glass sliding doors on the ground floor, and a balcony on the upper floor. The house is surrounded by lush greenery and has a wooden deck with lounge chairs by a pool.

    This is the most amazing African-Future Website I've seen! Thank you so much for this initiative that uplifts and encourages the new renaissance!

    AFA Reader - Moussa

  • A painting of a bustling outdoor market scene with people shopping, an old man with a walking stick, market stalls, and a large ornate fireplace or archway in the background, with trees and a building visible.

    Website absolutely beautiful, professional and thank you for citing references! I wish you an abundance of success and look forward to becoming an avid reader of the information shared on this website as well as sharing it with others! Best of luck!!!

    AFA Reader - Michele

  • Futuristic cityscape with tall, sleek buildings featuring multiple levels and lots of greenery, along a winding river under a partly cloudy sky.

    We wanted to feature an Afrofuturist city image - with full credits in an article in an (architecture) journal ... its widely read and would be great to feature an example of your work to a wider audience.
