We stand on the shoulders of greatness, honoring the voices and visions that have shaped African heritage and history. It is with deep gratitude and joy that we, at the AfriKin Foundation, welcome you to celebrate our 10th anniversary during this year’s 2024 Art Week in Miami titled Threads of Life and Fragments of Time.
Tonight, we begin Miami Art Week and Art Basel with our VIP opening – an all-white affair that celebrates Blackness, creativity, and cultural expression from around the world.
To our 75 artists from 33 countries – the heart and soul of this celebration, we honor your unique stories and your incredible contributions. From Africa to the global diaspora, your work challenges, inspires, and empowers. We are humbled and thrilled to welcome you into the AfriKin Foundation family. You are the driving force behind everything we do, and tonight, we celebrate you.
To our collectors – your passion for art and commitment to the creative community is invaluable. By choosing to support these artists, you are helping to ensure that their voices are heard, and their work is seen. Thank you for investing in the future of African and diasporic art. Your support makes all the difference.
To our sponsors and stakeholders – your generosity and vision empower us to continue our mission. We are honored to partner with you in this journey. Without your support, none of this would be possible. You help us amplify the voices that need to be heard, and we are deeply grateful for your commitment to the AfriKin Foundation and the broader artistic community.
And to our community – Ubuntu: I am because we are. Together, we are building a space where art, culture, and history come together to create lasting impact. Your participation, your presence, and your belief in our mission help make this vision a reality. We thank you for walking with us on this incredible journey and for making AfriKin 2024 a place where we can all come together to celebrate the richness of our shared heritage.
It is our mission and hope that your generous support will continue long into the future, and that together, we will continue to amplify the voices of African and diasporic artists for many years to come.
Once again, thank you for being part of AfriKin’s 10th anniversary. Your support is what makes this milestone possible, and we are excited for what the future holds.
