THE AFROBANANA + FRIENDS FESTIVAL 2020

Thursday 13 - Sunday 16 August

Val's Place Gialia Polis Paphos

It’s been a tough few months. And what we need now is some good news to lift the collective spirits. So in the hopes of giving our beautiful community something to look forward to, the AfroBanana team refuses to give up just yet. Instead we’re committing to do everything we can to bring you a creatively adapted version of our experiential and immersive music and arts festival this summer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Founded during a previous crisis, AfroBanana has over the years, evolved and adjusted in tune with the needs of the community. And now, a new Republic is being born, where social distancing is not only facilitated, but made fun and immersive, and where new health, safety and hygiene measures are addressed and adhered to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We’ve been cranking our creative minds into gear for our 10th anniversary celebration this year, dreaming up fun and original innovations in our mission not to deprive the island of any more culture, or leave even more creatives and artists financially unsupported.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

While we know many of our international acts may not be able to join us this year, we’ve already got a backup plan in place, with acts from alternative locations ready to dazzle the audience. Besides, Afrobanana is never just about the music, but an overall creative experience. Although the line-up won’t be announced until the last minute, we can reveal that we’ve come up with customised social distancing costumes, a schedule of relevant workshops and larger stages to accommodate music experiences.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Of course none of us know how the next few months will go and so, there is still a chance that the festival won’t go ahead. However, until that time, we will continue to explore all potential scenarios, thinking outside the box for creative solutions that will allow our beloved event to take place.
