  • Every October in Sweden, we celebrate the lives and contributions of Afro-Swedes historically and in the modern day all month long.

Organizations such as @afrosvenskarnas_riksorg , @afrosvenska_forum_for_rattvisa, @afrosvenskhistorievecka, @blackarchivessweden, @southnord, @africa_nmwc_swe, and @etnografiska, among others, have events planned all month long in celebration and honour of those who have come before us and who continue to lift us up.

On this end with ÅFRÖNỌ̀RDÍC and ÅFRÖSWÈ̩DÉ̩, we have some exciting upcoming announcements which we are eager to share, and which will continue to take this visual celebration globally and regionally.
