Rebranding Blackness in Asia — African Solutions for Global Challenges
Discover Our MissionOur Mission
Africa Center Hong Kong is a platform and creative hub that fosters value-creating interactions between African and non-African communities in Asia.
Rebranding Blackness
Blackness is often associated with danger and/or vulnerability. We challenge this perception and offer an opportunity to appreciate and benefit from accurate representations of blackness.
Connecting Communities
We aim to become the biggest uniquely African platform in Asia to connect and build communities across ethnic groups, gender, socio-economic status, and facilitate value-exchange between these communities.
Black Consciousness
We champion an African perspective, especially the need for consciousness of the power dynamics rooted in colonialism and the need for self-love. We emphasize the value of an African perspective in today’s uncertain world.
