afrOURban is a collective interested in documenting and celebrating a more accurate narrative about the spaces occupied by Black people, both in the diaspora and on the African continent. The collective is comprised of Black artists, architects, practitioners & citizens from over 20 countries ranging from an Angolan Venice biennale architect to a matatu driver in Kenya. 

afrOURban exhibits, screenings, tours and talks have served as a conduit for discussion about the diversity of the Black experience in cities. The collective has hosted exhibits and screenings in New York City, Montreal, Toronto, Sydney & Melbourne since 2017. afrOURban provides a specific space for Black voices telling Black stories.
