The Africa Centre is a not-for-profit organisation that provides a platform for exploring Pan-African artistic practice as a catalyst for social change. Based in South Africa, our intention is to innovate, lead, challenge and transcend our geographical reality in the creation and performance of contemporary artistic and intellectual expression.
