“Africa Salon” Brings Culture & Art from the Continent to Yale

Africa Salon is Yale’s signature African arts and contemporary culture festival. Held every year in April, this year’s event featured panels on the politicization of black hair, African representation in superhero comics and movies, a performance by a prominent African LGBTQ activist, a food tasting with “did you know” cards for each dish, a dance class taught by a popular Nigerian choreographer and dancer, and more.
