Afropolis 2026 gathers under one word: SANCTUARY.
In a time of noise, speed, and endless performance, we’re gathering to build SANCTUARY—a shared room for artists, thinkers, scene-makers, dancers, musicians, DJs, writers, designers, filmmakers, photographers, researchers, and culture workers to meet, study, make, and move together.
Six days of performances, labs, workshops, conversations, listening sessions, and night gatherings—rooted in Lagos, open to Africa and its elsewhere.
If you’ve been searching for your people, come.
If you’ve been building alone, come.
If your practice has been asking for a wider room, come, let us make a sanctuary together.
