afrOURban is a non profit (501c3) organization dedicated to documenting and celebrating more nuanced narratives 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 Manahatta-New York City, Tiohtià:ke-Montreal, Tkaronto-Toronto, Warrane-Sydney, & Narrm-Melbourne since 2017. The Black Diasporas project was started by afrOURban in 2020. afrOURban facilitates spaces where the agency of Black voices telling of Black stories is affirmed.
