afropunk

Afropunk BLKTOPIA is all afternoon and evening on Friday and Saturday, as part of the Celebrate Brooklyn! series.

The two-day festival, which starts Saturday, has changed locations, but it still celebrates Black music and culture, while embracing full-throated individuality.

Jazmine Sullivan and Flying Lotus will headline this year’s event.

After sitting out two years because of the pandemic, the ambitious festival came back strong through sun and rain on Sept. 10 and 11, once again providing a creative safe space for Black communities.

'The theme this year is We See You,' one attendee told Gothamist. 'I wanted to make sure I represent that: taking up space making yourself visible and unapologetic.'

The unapologetically black and dope Afropunk returned for a phenomenal weekend at Brooklyn's Commodore Barry Park.

Ice Cube, TV On The Radio, George Clinton, Tyler the Creator, Janelle Monae are coming to Brooklyn this summer.
