AFRICAM_Festival dell’Arte Africana

Friday, June 6th from 8:30 PM, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the CAM Museum presents AFRICAM, a great festival to celebrate African culture through exhibitions, workshops, music, DJ sets, dance, video art, and much more!

Thus, the Casoria museum celebrates an important year: two decades since its foundation in 2005, thanks to the current director, Antonio Manfredi. The museum has renewed its exhibition area and expanded its offerings, increasingly transforming into a cultural hub.

Over these twenty years, CAM has distinguished itself with dozens of international exhibitions, adding more than 2,000 works from around the world to its collection. As a point of reference for social art, the museum has led impactful civic events and initiatives, earning recognition from the Neapolitan and global artistic community. As the home of the regional pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale, it has displayed major names in the art scene and acted as a talent scout for new contemporary perspectives. In recent years, it has enriched its performance offerings with the most current music genres, providing space for experimentation.

The CAM dedicates the festival to the African continent, showcasing a selection of works from its collection, including paintings and sculptures from Kenya, Burkina Faso, Congo, and Sudan, alongside video art by Magmart, providing a glance at contemporary African artistic production.

The event also offers painting workshops where participants can engage with tribal masks, symbols, and images. There will be a space dedicated to tattoos and body decorations inspired by African traditions.

Exit, the museum's concept bar, will be the ideal location for the festival's musical program: performances by Senegal Ritmo with their Tribal African Music, vocal performances by NENE, and musical acts by Maurizio Capone (Bungt Bangt), one of the Italian pioneers of Junk Music, will follow one after the other.

The night will conclude with a DJ SET|Afro Beat.
