Theme: What “African Nostalgia” Really Means
This year’s theme, African Nostalgia, is about the memories, sounds, flavours and aesthetics that connect Africans across borders and generations. CMG describes it as a tribute to traditions that survived migration and separation, expressed through food, music, fashion, art and community spaces. The idea is to honour what we remember, while still pushing African creativity into the future through bold performances and innovative staging.
