Celebration of the African Soul through Art, Thought, Music and Crafts

The Atlanta Pan-African Arts Festival (FEPAA) is an international cultural event dedicated to the celebration of African arts, traditions and heritage. For its first edition, it will highlight the art of African weavers and the wealth of artisanal know-how through exhibitions, artistic performances and intellectual meetings. Much more than a simple festival, FEPAA aims to be a platform for intercultural dialogue, creating a bridge between Africa and its diaspora, particularly African-American communities. It offers an immersive experience where art, music, gastronomy and intellectual reflection meet to revive cultural roots and promote sustainable creative exchanges.

  • Cultural and identity reconciliation
  • Promotion of traditional know-how
  • Platform for creation and exchange
