We connect people through Afro vibes, creativity, community, and unforgettable cultural events. Finland is becoming more and more multicultural. People representing different countries, religions and traditions are living together. Getting to know a culture helps you to better understand and appreciate its people, prevents prejudice and enhances peaceful co-existence. For this reason we wish to promote our own culture here in Finland, far from our roots of origin. And so WaawAfrica was created, to serve this basic purpose. Lyhyesti suomeksi
WaawAfrica Productions on Suomessa toimiva, länsiafrikkalaisiin taiteisiin ja tuotteisiin keskittyvä yritys. Toistaiseksi sivusto on pääosin englanninkielinen erittäin monikulttuurisesta toimintaympäristöstä johtuen, mutta pyrimme lähitulevaisuudessa kääntämään ainakin osan sivujen sisällöstä myös suomeksi. Otathan yhteyttä, mikäli haluat lisää selvyyttä johonkin aiheeseen selvällä suomen kielellä :)
WaawAfrica Art Projects
-WaawAfrica organizes events, concerts and festivals on multicultural and African themes.
-WaawAfrica functions as an artist bank, where event organizers can contract professional artists to perform in their events. WaawAfrica works both with artists permanently living in Finland, as well by inviting reknown artists from the African continent to present their skills in front of Finnish audiences.
-WaawAfrica’s artists teach their art in workshops and ongoing weekly classes for people of all ages, children as well as adults, beginners as well as advanced.
-WaawAfrica participates in festivals and events also by bringing its own table/stand, where people cen get info from on going projects as well as buy Dakar Bazaar products or buy Senegalese food. Please don’t hesitate to contact us, in case you need us to perform or participate in your event, have ideas concerning African and multicultural arts in Finland, or just hope to know more about the possibilities available!
