About us

Africa Unveiled is a landmark global platform that celebrates the continent’s cultural richness, creative power, and global influence. Anchored in the belief that culture is a strategic form of soft power, the event brings together leaders, creatives, diplomats, institutions, and visionaries from across Africa and the diaspora to reframe how Africa is perceived, positioned, and partnered with on the world stage.

Held annually during the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Africa Unveiled is hosted by PRINCEWOOD GLOBAL ASSOCIATES LTD and convened in collaboration with multilateral bodies, national governments, creative industries, and civil society

Our Purpose

Africa Unveiled exists to:

  • Amplify Africa’s cultural diplomacy as a powerful tool for global engagement
  • Promote African-led narratives in media, policy, and international cooperation
  • Showcase African innovation and creativity across arts, fashion, film, cuisine, and music
  • Forge partnerships that support the cultural and creative economy as a development driver
  • Connect the continent and its diaspora through shared heritage and global advocacy

Our Pillars

  1. Diplomacy & Dialogue – High-level forums and policy exchanges on Africa’s place in a multipolar world
  2. Creative Showcases – Exhibitions, performances, and curated experiences celebrating African excellence
  3. Youth & Innovation – Spotlighting next-gen changemakers, tech disruptors, and culturepreneurs
  4. Diaspora Engagement – Building bridges between Africa and its global communities
  5. Global Partnerships – Collaborating with institutions to invest in Africa’s cultural future

2025 Edition Highlights

Taking place in September 2025 in New York, the inaugural edition will feature:

Why it Matters

Africa Unveiled offers a timely and transformative response to the global demand for diverse voices, inclusive partnerships, and authentic representation. It is more than an event—it is a movement to position Africa not as a subject of the global agenda, but as a defining voice in shaping it.

"There's a better way to invest in Africa for a sustainable future for all. "
