Afro-Venezuelan groups and collectives hosted a series of public talks, workshops and cultural activities from May 23rd-27th in celebration of Venezuela’s African heritage.  

The week’s scheduled events were aimed at visibilising the agency of Afrodescendent leaders and communities in Venezuela’s long history of emancipatory rebellions and projects, as well as to celebrate Venezuela’s unqiue Afro-Venezuelan culture and wider Afro-Latino and African links.
