What is OAAF?

ABOUT OSLO AFRO ARTS FESTIVAL

Oslo Afro Arts Festival (OAAF) is an annual music festival celebrating Afro Arts: art and music deriving from African tradition and culture, taking place in the culturally diverse and vibrant atmosphere of Grønland in Oslo. Oslo Afro Arts Festival’s program consists of concerts, spoken-word/poetry, dance performances, film screenings, workshops, lectures and events for children and youth. We also arrange an African market with stalls, food, activities for children and live music. The festival is held across different venues in Grønland, Oslo. The festival is a continuation of Zimfest Oslo, a Zimbabwean music and culture festival that started in 2014. It aims to be a festival that exposes and educates all people to the individual works and collective contributions of African cultures. Our mission is addressed through our flagship activity: the festival, and through other activities that promote African arts and culture in Norway. Oslo Afro Arts Festival is designed to create an open and inclusive festival where African culture can be experienced through art, music, food, discussion, information and interaction. Furthermore, OAAF aim to strengthen international music scene in Oslo and inspire artists to collaborate across ethnic and cultural affiliations
