                                 Celebrating Africa's indigenous heritage
                                                  (strictly cultural and art)

 The human expression finds their way through varied forms of art and cultural activities. The art and culture of Nigeria too represents the vividness of Nigerian lifestyle coupled together with a glorious history of the past to bank upon. One of the major aspects of Nigerian art and culture lies
in the fact that they draw their inspiration from
the rural traditional folk heritage of the region.
 

In Cape Town this week, a conference on Africa’s creative economy bangs the drum for art, culture and the creative industries. Policymakers looking for ways to nurture a more prosperous and peaceful Africa would do well to listen. A growing body of research indicates that Africa’s culture is a largely untapped resource that could give its economic development a welcome fillip. For too long most African leaders and foreign donors have treated art and culture as at best marginal, at worst irrelevant to core development and peace building agendas. It’s time to shake off these old assumptions, understand more clearly culture’s potential and harness it to make Africa a better place to live.
   Afestac is a vibrant revival of the art and culture of the African race. It aims at showcasing visual and performing art in Arbico land.
