Fireside Chat and Afterparty

​The global creative industry keeps rewarding sameness. Campaigns flatten the cultures they reference. Brands borrow from the edges and sand down everything that made it interesting. Meanwhile, African and diaspora creators are producing the most distinctive creative work on the planet — and the commercial infrastructure still hasn't caught up. Chika Uwazie, Addy Awofisayo, Ben Williams and Bernard Sokpe dig into why, and what shifts when it does. Moderated by Kofi Turkson.

​Followed by the afriCANNES closing cocktail at the DEPT® Secret Garden.
