AWA is a pan-African not-for-profit organization geared towards promoting women’s issues, empowering, mentoring, coaching, presenting, and promoting upcoming and mid-career women artists of African heritage. AWA also works to increase the public understanding and appreciation of African traditional and contemporary arts through artistic production like music, spoken word, digital media art, visual arts, movie screening and the AWA Festival. Our priority as AWA is focused on women but we as well collaborate with the counterparts from other gender and ethnic groups.
