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
