Afrofem' Tour

26.04.2019 — 06.07.2025

Touring several European cities, offering workshops, training, debates and meetings.


Description

In the spirit of Audre Lorde's "Berlin Years," the Afrofem' Tour aims to connect Afro resistance movements and strengthen ties between Black feminist movements across Europe. Our experience at Nyansapo taught us that political alliances among Black people are essential to our growth and advancement as Black activists.
