AfriKin Art Fair 2025

AfriKin Foundation | Give Miami Day 2025

AfriKin Art Fair: Through Creation, We Find Meaning SCENES From HOME.

Curated by Professor Dr. Joseph L. Underwood 

Art is not neutral—it’s necessary. At AfriKin, we harness art as advocacy and culture as catalyst to heal, remember, and build. During Miami Art Week/Art Basel Miami Beach, our AfriKin Art Fair convenes artists and audiences from Global Africa and the Black world to transform testimony into action, remedy into community care, and reclamation into lasting legacy. Your Give Miami Day gift fuels that work for 2025 and beyond.

Mission

AfriKin Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to using arts and cultural experiences to build bridges between personal creativity and the collective good of humanity. 

We sustain cultural programming designed to highlight the role of art and culture in human development and enrichment, emphasizing cultural connection and kinship across ethnic lines. 

AfriKin nurtures artists, educates communities, and promotes sustainable cultural industries that inspire global connection.

The word AfriKin fuses “Africa” and “kinship,” reflecting our belief that we are all connected through culture and creativity.

Vision

For over a decade, AfriKin has produced programs and exhibitions that promote education, cultural preservation, and social awareness. 

Through our three pillars — academic articulation, creative artistry, and cultural industries — we engage communities locally and globally to foster unity, empathy, and progress. 

When you support AfriKin, you are opening creative pathways for learning, understanding, and economic development — empowering artists, educating youth, and cultivating thriving creative economies across the African Diaspora.
