The Baraxana Arts Festival is proud to announce its transformation into a biennale event, now to be recognized as the Baraxana Arts Biennale, with the next edition scheduled for November 2025. This significant shift reflects the festival’s renewed commitment to its original purpose of serving as a springboard for Africa’s emerging creative talent while fostering meaningful exchange among creatives, cultural practitioners, and society at large.
“This change marks an exciting new chapter for us,” says Tally Ozegbe, Founder and Festival Director. “Evolving into the Baraxana Arts Biennale allows us to create a more focused and impactful platform for emerging talent. It also strengthens our role as a space where creatives, cultural practitioners, and society can connect and collaborate in ways that inspire growth and transformation.”
Since its inception, the Baraxana Arts Festival has championed exceptional talent across disciplines such as theater, music, dance, visual arts, and photography. The shift to a biennale format ensures more time for meaningful curation, strategic collaborations, and the creation of innovative opportunities for emerging creatives. By remaining rooted in its mission, the festival continues to bridge creativity and society while celebrating the richness of African artistry.
The 2025 edition of the Baraxana Arts Biennale will bring together diverse disciplines, showcase groundbreaking talent, and deepen the dialogue between creativity and society. More details about the event and participation opportunities will be announced in the coming months.
The Baraxana Arts Biennale invites artists, cultural practitioners, and enthusiasts to help shape the future of Africa’s creative and cultural industries.
