Redefining the Narrative: African Creatives Charting New Paths

Despite growing recognition, African creatives often face cultural and systemic challenges in achieving global prominence. This panel will explore how African innovators are leveraging the digital space to break free from traditional norms, overcome obstacles, and carve out new opportunities. It will highlight key learnings from their journeys and examine how a fresh narrative of African creativity can inspire global audiences while maintaining authenticity. How can these trailblazers collaborate across borders to build a thriving, interconnected creative ecosystem that redefines Africa’s place in the global cultural landscape?
