Mark your calendars and join us for this bilingual, weeklong, arts & humanities series that explores the shared traditions, histories, struggles, activism and aspirations of Black and Indigenous peoples throughout the Americas.
All the programs featured in the 2025 AfroMundo Festival supports NHCC’s mission to preserve, promote and advance Hispanic culture, arts and humanities by broadening understandings of Latinidad, and by introducing intersectional narratives of regions with shared histories, cultures, traditions and plights so as to promote a greater understanding of our shared humanity. AfroMundo is a grassroots, cultural ecosystem where the individual and collective narratives, traditions, and lived experiences of Afro diasporas are expressed through multiple mediums and from local, national, and international perspectives to allow for an exchange of knowledge, and for interrogation as well as critical thinking. AfroMundo further extends the conversation by ensuring that audiences can engage presenters in dialogue.
