AFROPUNK FEST Brooklyn is the result of what originally started off as a DIY movement -- it started as a response to feeling left out or to cater to a desire of belonging. It is now recognized as one of the globe's most well known cultural movements that blend art, music, and activism together to tell an inspiring and empowering message.
The festival attracted over 60,000 attendees every year to celebrate black culture and giving back to a community that has historically been marginalized. The empowering festival is captured in a bold and vibrant video that showcases the beautiful outfits put together by guests and performers to highlight the beauty of the entire community.
