Empower Africans to Thrive THE YOUTH EDITION ARTS CULTURE & HERITAGE

“Go Africa” is a movement to mobilise the African & Caribbean creative communities in Islington to come together as one, as a craft market, to promote talent, art, culture, and education. The marketplace is where local people can buy original and firsthand art, ethical handicrafts and participate in interactive workshops including book reading by African authors to support young adults and children.Go Africa’s main purpose is to improve the Islington African Diaspora communities and neighbours understanding of each other’s cultures and is a movement to mobilise the Islington African Diaspora creative communities in particular the Islington South area to collaborate and showcase positive skills, talent, art, cuisine, literature and African World music.  We inspire pride and community visibility for the Islington African Diasporas to integrate with the wider borough, to prevent isolation and loneliness, especially for some of our service users who have a conscious displacement within a foreign country.
