The event aims to shine a light on diversity, bring African Art to the forefront, and open genuine conversations about the place of African-descent individuals at all levels of society.

Over the course of two days, attendees will explore diversity and creativity across the African continent and the diaspora through art, have the opportunity to attend panels on the intersection of art, business and technology, and learn practical skills in dynamic workshops.

To support the implementation of diversity at university, the event aims to raise £34,400 with donations and the auction of the artworks for at least one student to be enrolled at Imperial College London, through the Cowrie Scholarship Foundation.

The event is free to attend, however you are encouraged to make a donation to the Cowrie Scholarship Foundation.

The Exhibition will be open to the public in the Main College Atrium from 10.00-18.00 each day
