In its previous version themed “Africa of the Africans,” the event answered the following questions: “What is the role of the arts in Africa?”; “Can the arts, imbued with values of social responsibility, create new forms of expression?”; and “Can a new perspective of the arts lead to new social, regional and national policies?”
