About Us
African Activities CIC offers the opportunity to engage with a diverse range of Black and African cultures through superb, creative artistic experiences. Our work disrupts preconceptions, creates community, drives excellence and breaks barriers. Rooted in pre-colonial traditions, our workshops include drumming, dance, storytelling, Adinkra, beadwork, and mask-making. Led by culturally grounded artists, we bring living heritage to life across schools, communities and festivals. Based in the New Forest, we are a leading Black-led organisation championing African arts across Hampshire and beyond.
