The organisers of the Creative Africa Nexus Weekend have announced that the 2022 edition of the programme will hold in Abidjan, Cote d’ivoire, from November 25 to 27.
The Media consultant for the programme, Babatunde Samuel, in a statement on Saturday, said the programme was aimed at showcasing the diversity of talents from across the continent, with an important nod to the diaspora.
Samuel said the CANEX Weekend was also a celebration of the creative talent that was taking the world by storm.
“Leading the line of those to thrill the participants and the continent at large is the son of the legendary Bob Marley, Julian Marley, alongside multiple award-winning Nigerian afro-pop singer, Yemi Alade.
”Others include Josey (Côte d’Ivoire), Nandy (Tanzania), Nadia Nakai (South Africa), Suspect 95 (Cote d’Ivoire), Didi B (Côte d’Ivoire) and DJ Mohgreen (Morocco/ France).
”It will be a three-day gathering, with a strong focus on sharing skills and best practices from sectors across Africa’s creative and cultural industries.
”CANEX Weekend is free to attend for all delegates with key event sessions including a range of intensive masterclasses commencing on Thursday November 24,” he said.
Samuel noted that with the growing interest in participation in CANEX Weekend, organisers simplified the process for all across Africa and beyond with free registration on the organisers’ website.
